The university decided to look into this issue and studied more than four thousand publications that recorded cases of predictions of weather changes on joints that hurt.
The connection between joint pain and the weather is recorded in 63% of cases, which is not outstanding, but quite a convincing result.
Having already studied certain aspects of the intensity of pain in the joints in this or that weather (pain and temperature change, pain and pressure change, pain and wind force, pain and precipitation), scientists found out that the wind has no effect on painful sensations.
There are currently no extensive studies on other aspects of the weather. However, there is a connection between pain and other bad weather factors (air temperature, atmospheric pressure, precipitation).
So far, there are no specific statistics on diseases that affect the joints in this or that weather. According to the university, only osteoarthritis was studied in this context.
Scientists, however, plan to cover other inflammatory processes that occur in the joints, and to find or refute their connection with weather phenomena.
