The older you get, the more important your health becomes. A little niggle that you could shake off and ignore in your 20s or 30s suddenly becomes a major life-altering issue. You may not feel old on the outside, but age catches up with all of us and it's important to know the conditions you need to keep an eye on as each birthday rolls around.

Arthritis

Arthritis means inflammation in a joint (like your knee, hip, elbow or fingers). It is a common problem and generally affects older people, although there are some rare conditions that cause arthritis in children and teenagers. There are lots of types of arthritis. Some give you short-term aches in the joints and then resolve completely, others can cause long-term problems and permanently affect how your joints move.
