OA is the most common form of arthritis in the US, affecting nearly 30 million adults.† While the exact cause of OA is unknown, it occurs when cartilage in joints breaks down over time. OA is most commonly found in knees, hips, hands, spine, or great toes.
Unlike OA, RA is an autoimmune disease, meaning the body’s defense system doesn't function properly and it begins to mistakenly attack itself. In RA, white blood cells (which normally fight infection) attack the lining of a joint, causing inflammation (swelling). This inflammation leads to a release of proteins that thicken the joint lining. These proteins can also damage the cartilage, bone tendons, and ligaments near the joint and can eventually destroy the joint itself.
