Not just for seniors: The hidden struggle of younger adults with osteoarthritis with Associate Prof Anthony Perruccio

In this episode, we dive into the often overlooked world of younger adults living with osteoarthritis. Associate Professor Anthony Perruccio joins us to explore why people develop osteoarthritis and the unique challenges faced by younger individuals with the disease. We discuss key risk factors such as age, sex, weight, genetics, prior joint injuries, and muscle strength.

Associate Professor Perruccio also sheds light on the delayed diagnosis in younger adults and the severe impact on their overall and mental health, life satisfaction, and the likelihood of having other chronic conditions. We examine how current diagnostic methodologies might be contributing to these delays and what needs to change.

This conversation highlights the importance of recognising osteoarthritis in younger populations and encourages proactive management and participation in research to improve outcomes. Tune in to learn more about the hidden struggles and how we can better support younger individuals with osteoarthritis.
