I think you will get answers that say yes and no. I have arthritis and I have cracked my knuckles since I was a boy in 1968. I really don't think that they are directly related because although my hands and back get especially sore when the weather changes, the fact is that I have cracked my finger knucles a lot more than a chiropractor has adjusted three areas of my back.
And Best Wishes in 2007. Thank You.

cracking your knuckles does not give you arthritis.
arthritis comes at all ages. I had an x-ray at age 26 that showed arthritis in my hip.

children can get arthritus, usually the rhumatoid kind, yes cracking can add to the problem of osteoarthritus because you are messing with the joint position.
