Correct Answer is ["A","B","C"]

Explanation

A. Aging:
Aging leads to natural wear and tear of joints, increasing osteoarthritis risk.

B. Family history of osteoarthritis:
A genetic predisposition plays a role in developing osteoarthritis.

C. Obesity:
Excess body weight increases stress on weight-bearing joints, accelerating cartilage degeneration.

D. Regular strenuous exercise:
While extreme joint overuse can contribute, moderate regular exercise is generally protective. Strenuous exercise alone is not considered a direct risk factor unless excessive or joint-damaging.

E. Calcium deficiency:
More relevant to osteoporosis, not osteoarthritis, which is a joint disorder, not a bone density issue.

A. jog or run three times a week B. Maintain the recommended body weight. C. Choose soft pillowed chairs for sitting D. Reduce the amount of purine in the diet.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Jog or run three times a week:
High-impact activities like jogging increase joint stress and are not recommended for clients with osteoarthritis.

B. Maintain the recommended body weight:
Excess weight puts added stress on weight-bearing joints. Maintaining a healthy BMI can slow joint degeneration and reduce pain.

C. Choose soft pillowed chairs for sitting:
Soft chairs may cause poor posture and make standing more difficult, increasing joint strain.

D. Reduce the amount of purine in the diet:
This is appropriate for gout, not osteoarthritis.
