Monday October 21 at 10 a.m., Dr Gérald Kierzek, medical director of Doctissimo, joins Ali Rebeihi’s set on France Inter for a program in partnership with Doctissimo. On the program, all your questions about osteoarthritis and rheumatism.
Very widespread, osteoarthritis (or osteoarthritis) results from a breakdown of the cartilage which covers the ends of the bones at the joints. Affecting nearly 10 million French people, it becomes more common as we age and can affect the spine, knee, fingers, ankle, etc.
All your questions about osteoarthritis and arthritis
Although it affects 65% of those over 65, osteoarthritis does not benefit from curative treatments. Its management still remains essentially symptomatic, but the discovery of new therapeutic targets gives hope for the upcoming development of targeted treatments capable of stopping the progression of the disease. At the same time, new studies are relaunching the possibility of cartilage regeneration or the use of microplastics capable of fighting pain…
But without waiting for these avenues of research to materialize, it is possible to act now through a healthy lifestyle based on exercises and a specific diet. This is particularly what the experts will discuss in the show Grand Bien vous fait on France Inter.
Experts are working to boost your immunity
Several experts gathered on the France Inter set will help us see things more clearly. We will find around Ali Rebeihi:
- Professor Sébastien Czernichow, professor of nutrition at Paris Cité University and head of the nutrition department at the Georges-Pompidou European Hospital in Paris. He participated in the writing of numerous scientific articles and the development of nutritional recommendations in osteoarthritis and chronic inflammatory rheumatism.
- Professor Jérémie Sellam, professor of rheumatology at Sorbonne University. He works in the rheumatology department of Saint-Antoine hospital in Paris. He coordinated the first recommendations on the diet of patients suffering from chronic inflammatory rheumatism under the aegis of the French Society of Rheumatology, but also those on the management of knee osteoarthritis. He is currently deputy secretary of the French Society of Rheumatology.
Book: Osteoarthritis, arthritis, I treat myself by eating, Solar, 2024. Co-written with Sébastien Czernichow.
- Professor Françis Berenbaum, rheumatologist. He heads the rheumatology department at Saint-Antoine hospital in Paris and continues his research work at the head of the “Metabolic diseases and osteoarticular pathologies linked to aging” team at the Saint-Antoine Research Center. He strives to better understand the molecular mechanisms that lead to osteoarthritis in order to discover new therapeutic targets.
