knee is commonest joint showing osteoarthritic changes in countries where kneeling and sitting cross-legged is usual practice. Otherwise hip joint osteoarhritis is the commonest one.
Chondromalacia in this age group is not common.

Lose weight by combining changes in their diet with increased exercise.
Hot compression and use diclofenac gel over knee.
