depends on which arthritis your talking aboyt, otherwise yes! * Both men and women can get reactive arthritis.
* It usually affects people between the ages of 20 and 50.
* Some people may be more likely to get reactive arthritis. These are people who have a certain type of body tissue. This type of tissue, called HLA-B27, occurs in only a small number of all people. People get their tissue type from their parents, just as they do hair colour and blood type.

Yes, especially if they lead a very active lifestyle (such as playing sports). I'm only 25 and I have arthritis in both my knees from being a softball catcher...

rheumatoid arthritis is a common autoimmune disorder. many individuals with this produce a group of auto - antibodies. such auto-antibodies bind to normal circulating igG antibodies , resulting in igM-igG complexes, this can activate the complement cascade and results in type 3 hypersensitivity.
sportsperson also are more prone to the arthritis in younger ages.
