In Jaraavastha, Deha Dhatus undergo Kshaya, leading to Vata Prakopa and making individual prone to many degenerative diseases.  Sandhigata Vata is one among them, which obviously corelated with osteoarthritis due to its maximum symptomatic similarities. It is a degenerative and chronic articular disorder affecting mainly the weight bearing joints in advancing age.
