Cartilage thinning

Gradual thinning of cartilage is common with age, related to slower cell turnover and decades of cumulative mechanical load.

Reduced synovial fluid

Both the quantity and lubricating quality of synovial fluid can change with age, contributing to increased friction and stiffness.

Ligament and tendon changes

These tissues can lose some elasticity with age, potentially affecting joint stability and range of motion.

Muscle mass decline

Age-related muscle loss reduces the supportive structure around joints, compounding other age-related changes.

What distinguishes normal aging from osteoarthritis

Normal age-related change is gradual and generally does not involve significant pain, swelling or functional limitation. Osteoarthritis is a distinct disease process, though age is a risk factor for it. A doctor can distinguish between the two.
