Hello,

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative process& it naturally affects joints when they have been sufficiently malused.

Autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis affect people of all ages. Of course, the incidence varies according to age, sex & other parameters.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
