Country India
Abstract Arthritis is a chronic, irreparable disease that affects joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles. It is one of the most common diseases of mankind and is rapidly growing in all parts of the world. There are many types of arthritis and rheumatism, of which osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are the two most common types. The management of either disease is not complete without the use of herbs. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis. According to the reports in the 2020, arthritis was the first most reported health problem after cold and flu. Considering, Jammu Division is a hilly region of northern India; this type of survey on arthritis has been undertaken for the first time. The Jammu division was stratified into high mountainous areas, medium mountainous areas, low elevated hilly areas and plains for this survey. Arthritis is a common complaint in all parts of the world. According to WHO it is estimated that more than 80% of the world's population over the age of 70 years is affected by OA. Generally, OA is more common in women with the ratio of 2:1. OA is the most common age-related articular disease which is seen in large joints of the knees, hands, hips and spinal joints. The prevalence of OA in Jammu & Kashmir was recorded to be 29.3%. RA is an autoimmune disease and is one of the 10 most common selected diseases in terms of global burden of disease.
