It is completely different from the common degenerative arthritis (Osteoarthritis). Arthritis is caused by a malfunction in the body&#8217;s immune system. Here are the main reasons that lead to it:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d06\u0d2e\u0d35\u0d3e\u0d24\u0d02 \u0d36\u0d30\u0d40\u0d30\u0d02 \u0d2e\u0d41\u0d7b\u0d15\u0d42\u0d1f\u0d4d\u0d1f\u0d3f \u0d15\u0d3e\u0d23\u0d3f\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d41\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d28 \u0d0f\u0d34\u0d41 \u0d32\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d37\u0d23\u0d19\u0d4d\u0d19\u0d7e \/Baiju&#039;s Vlogs\" width=\"930\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uNlGRFPRI3A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Autoimmune Response: The main cause of arthritis is a change in the body&#8217;s immune system. The immune cells that should work against bacteria and viruses start attacking the lining of the joints (Synovium) as enemies. This causes severe swelling and pain in the joints.<\/p>\n<p>Genetics: If parents or close relatives in the family have a history of arthritis, the next generation is more likely to develop it. Studies show that people with certain genes (such as HLA-DR4) are more likely to develop this disease.<\/p>\n<p>Hormonal changes and gender: Women are three times more likely to develop asthma than men. This is because changes in the hormone &#8216;estrogen&#8217; in women affect the immune system. It usually starts to appear in women between the ages of 30 and 50.<\/p>\n<p>Smoking: Smokers are more likely to develop asthma than non-smokers. The chemicals in tobacco stimulate the body&#8217;s inflammatory factors and make the disease more severe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d06\u0d2e\u0d35\u0d3e\u0d24\u0d02 \u0d36\u0d30\u0d40\u0d30\u0d02 \u0d2e\u0d41\u0d7b\u0d15\u0d42\u0d1f\u0d4d\u0d1f\u0d3f \u0d15\u0d3e\u0d23\u0d3f\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d41\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d28 \u0d0f\u0d34\u0d41 \u0d32\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d37\u0d23\u0d19\u0d4d\u0d19\u0d7e \/Baiju&#039;s Vlogs\" width=\"930\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uNlGRFPRI3A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Environmental factors and infections: Some types of bacterial and viral infections can stimulate the body&#8217;s immune system in a wrong way, which can later lead to asthma.
