Although older age is the greatest risk factor for OA, OA is not an inevitable consequence of growing old. Radiographic changes of OA, particularly osteophytes, are common in the aged population but symptoms of joint pain may be independent of radiographic severity in many older adults. Aging changes in the musculoskeletal system increase the propensity to OA but the joints affected and the severity of disease are most closely related to other OA risk factors such as joint injury, obesity, genetics, and anatomical factors that affect joint mechanics. The aging changes in joint tissues that contribute to the development of OA include cell senescence that results in development of the senescent secretory phenotype and aging changes in the matrix, including formation of advanced glycation end-products that affect the mechanical properties of joint tissues. An improved mechanistic understanding of joint aging will likely reveal new therapeutic targets to slow or halt disease progression. The ability to slow progression of OA in older adults will have enormous public health implications given the aging of our population and the increase in other OA risk factors such as obesity.
