    ABSTRACT: Osteoarthritis is the third most rapidly growing health condition associated with disability, after dementia and diabetes. By 2050, the total number of patients with osteoarthritis is estimated to reach 1 billion worldwide. As no disease-modifying treatments exist for osteoarthritis, a better understanding of disease aetiopathology is urgently needed. Here we perform a genome-wide association study meta-analyses across up to 489,975 cases and 1,472,094 controls, establishing 962 independent associations, 513 of which have not been previously reported. Using single-cell multiomics data, we identify signal enrichment in embryonic skeletal development pathways. We integrate orthogonal lines of evidence, including transcriptome, proteome and epigenome profiles of primary joint tiss

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Exercise

  • Low-impact aerobic exercise for joint health Moderate

    Maintains cartilage nutrition and strengthens supporting muscles without excessive joint stress; reduces osteoarthritis progression

    150 minutes per week of walking, swimming, or cycling

  • Strength and flexibility training for joint support Moderate

    Strengthens muscles around joints reducing stress on cartilage; improves joint stability and mobility

    2-3 sessions per week targeting lower extremities and core

Lifestyle

  • Maintain healthy body weight to reduce joint load Moderate

    Excess weight increases mechanical stress on joints, accelerating osteoarthritis development and progression

    Aim for BMI 18.5-24.9; discuss personalized weight goals

Screening

  • Knee osteoarthritis screening from age 50 Moderate

    Genetic predisposition increases lifetime osteoarthritis risk; early detection enables preventive and disease-modifying interventions

    Annual clinical joint assessment for pain or stiffness; imaging if symptoms develop
