Rheumatoid arthritis explained by NHS doctor<\/h3>\n

As we age it is accepted that many of us will see a decline in our physical health and fitness.<\/p>\n

This includes the deterioration of our joints and bones, making injuries and conditions such as arthritis more likely.<\/p>\n

While it may seem like there isn\u2019t much we can do to prevent this, new research has found our exercise habits could actually make a significant difference.<\/p>\n

A study, by the University of Manchester, revealed that exercising at the same time every day could shield against bone and joint deterioration.<\/p>\n

This could therefore help promote good physical health and fitness later in life, researchers have said.<\/p>\n

In a university release, senior author Judith Hoyland explained: “Among the many health challenges, the age-related musculoskeletal decline \u2013 and its adverse consequences \u2013 is a major burden to individuals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have identified a new clock mechanism underlying skeletal ageing, which could have far-reaching impacts on understanding frailty and designing more efficient treatment timing of exercise and physiotherapy to maintain good skeletal health and mobility.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the team, this is linked to our circadian rhythm and its effect on our physical and mental health, as well as our behaviour.<\/p>\n

Lucy Donaldson, director of research and health intelligence at collaborating organisation Versus Arthritis, said: “The daily 24-hour cycle that our bodies follow, such as our internal temperature dropping when we sleep and our blood pressure rising at certain times of day, is known as our circadian rhythm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are processes inside our body which keep this rhythm going, known as ‘clocks,’ which are all linked to our central body clock in the brain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previous studies have suggested that disruption to these clocks can leave people at greater risk for certain health conditions such as cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n
