Osteoarthritis is one of the most common conditions that leads to disability in elderly. Initially arthritis was thought to be a condition in the more affluent western countries. But with the increasing prosperity in the 2nd and 3rd world countries, lifestyle diseases have increased to epidemic proportions.

Patients with osteoarthritis are at a higher risk of mortality mainly because of disability caused due to severe pain which inturn leads to invitation of other lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease etc.
