I'm 22, f, 5', 121 lbs. what do i need to do to get far away from arthritis in joints in future? thank you!

Living: In a gravity free environment would certainly be a plus but failing that, keep your weight down, exercise regularly, avoid injurng joints and pray that you aren't an individual prone to the symptoms of arthritis. You will develop arthritic x-ray findings over time but these are not always correlated with symptoms.
