Arthritis and related autoimmune disorders that may affect musculoskeletal health
There are more than 100 different types of arthritis, some of which are listed here.
The cause of most types is unknown. Scientists are currently studying what roles three major factors play in certain types of arthritis. These include the genetic factors you inherit from your parents, what happens to you during your life and how you live. The importance of these factors varies for every type of arthritis.
