The view we should take is as follows: osteoarthritis is “heart disease” of the joints and heart disease is “osteoarthritis” of arteries.
The difficulty that most have when considering this fact is that, to the naked eye, joints and arteries are very different structures. While that is true, it should not detract one from focusing on the chemistry of each condition, which is a shared state of chronic inflammation that is essentially identical.
It is generally known by many people that type 2 diabetes is a risk factor for heart disease. The reason for this is that diabetes is an inflammatory state, which predisposes one to develop related inflammatory diseases, such as heart disease. It is not well known, but equally factual, that people with diabetes are also more likely to develop osteoarthritis (1).
This relationship between diabetes and OA is obvious and becoming more well known, yet it is still difficult for many to conceptualize that OA is heart disease of joints. The fact that must be embraced is that if the inflammatory state of diabetes promotes both heart disease and OA, it means that they have similar causes and similar pro-inflammatory chemistry changes.
