  • Summary

  • What if you could know your risk of developing osteoarthritis years before symptoms appear? In this episode, we explore whether a blood test could provide those answers.


    Joining us on this week's episode is Dr. Virginia Kraus, a leading rheumatologist and researcher, to discuss her study that identified osteoarthritis risk up to 10 years in advance with 77% accuracy. We unpack what this means for early detection, the role of inflammation in disease progression, and how this research could shape future treatment and prevention strategies.


    Tune in to find out what the future of osteoarthritis detection could look like.
