Does sex matter? Unpacking the role of biological differences in osteoarthritis

In this week's episode of Joint Action, we dive deep into the question: why do women experience more osteoarthritis than men? Host Professor David Hunter is joined by experts Assistant Professor Tristan Maerz and Assistant Professor Dieuwke Schiphof to explore the biological and gender-based differences that contribute to osteoarthritis prevalence, symptoms, and treatment disparities.


They discuss the complex interplay between hormones, joint structure, body composition, and pain perception. With insights from preclinical research, they reveal how the field is evolving to better understand these sex and gender differences, and what this could mean for future treatments.


Tune in to discover why these gaps in knowledge are crucial to closing the gender gap in osteoarthritis care, and how staying active plays a key role for everyone living with the condition.
