Gardening, an activity for seniors, reduces the risk of knee pain and arthritis

Seniors who garden are less likely to suffer from knee pain and arthritis, according to a study recently published in the journal Clinical Rheumatology.

Researchers monitored the knee health of more than 2,600 people with an average age of 64, analyzing their gardening activity and comparing it with signs of arthritis or knee pain. The results showed that people who gardened had a 29% lower risk of frequent knee pain and a 25-29% lower risk of knee arthritis.

According to lead researcher Dr. Grace Lo of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, “gardening is an activity that people continue for years and appears to have benefits for knee health, as well as mental well-being and socialization.”

However, the researchers stressed that this was an observational study and does not prove cause and effect, adding that further research is needed to understand the potential mechanisms of benefit.

Gardening, in addition to creating beautiful surroundings and producing vegetables, can be a simple and enjoyable way to keep knees healthy as we age.
