Osteoarthritis – This condition occurs when the protective tissue at the ends of the bones wears down over time. It most commonly affects the joints, such as the knees, hips, and hands. As the tissue thins, the bones may begin to rub against each other directly. This process can lead to joint stiffness and discomfort during movement. The condition typically develops gradually as a person ages.

Overweight or Obesity – This condition involves having an excessive amount of body fat relative to body weight. It occurs when the body takes in more energy from food than it uses for movement and daily functions. Over time, this imbalance leads to the accumulation of fat tissue throughout the body. The condition can affect various parts of the body and may progress if energy intake remains high.
