Results: The study showed 53.33% of previous family history of osteoarthritis and 46.66% were no family history of osteoarthritis. 76.66% gradual disease onset and 23.33% were insidious onset. 100% were having joint pain with swelling. 50% were average digestive power, 36.66% good and 13.33% poor. 30% patients were having addiction of alcohol, 16.66% smoking and alcohol, 16.66% smoking, 3.33% tobacco and 33.33% were no addiction. 66.66% patients were having irregular bowel habit and 33.33% was regular. 41.66% sedentary, 40% active and 18.33% were moderately active. 40% illness was observed during the period of 0-6 months, 30% 1-2 years, 16.66% 6-12 months and 13.33% were 2-5 yrs. 60% cold season and 40% were other seasons.
