Evidence keeps piling up that smoking is bad not just for your breathing, lungs and heart, but also for your joints.
Dr. Amin and colleagues from the Mayo Clinic examined the relationship between smoking and osteoarthritis, a degenerative form of arthritis.
Is It Leaky Gut or Leaky Gut Syndrome?
They studied 159 males with osteoarthritis of the knee. The study was conducted prospectively over a 30-month period. MRI scans were done at baseline and then at 15 months and then at end of the study. Pain scores were also measured.
After adjusting for the age and body weight, these investigators found that current smokers suffered a greater loss of cartilage. In addition, current smokers also greater pain, both at baseline as well as upon follow-up.
Above study highlights the deleterious effects of smoking.
Do you or someone you know smokes tobacco? Remember, it is never too late to quit smoking. Talk to your health professional.
