3. The Relationship between Pickwickian Syndrome and Osteoarthritis

Obesity is bad for joints, and is well known to cause osteoarthritis in the long run. A low oxygen level is also bad for your joints. Over time, the cartilages and the bones in the joints are damaged to such an extent that the joints can no longer function properly. Besides, obese people have more free fat cells that can also attack joint tissues. These attacks can lead to long-term joint inflammation and cause permanent damage to the joints.
