Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread joint disorder causing pain and disability, particularly in older adults. This review covers OA

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent joint disorder globally.
  • It is a leading cause of pain, functional loss, and disability in adults, especially in Western populations.
  • Radiographic OA affects the majority of individuals by age 65 and approximately 80% by age 75.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the definition and classification of Osteoarthritis (OA).
  • To examine the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors associated with OA.
  • To understand the natural history of Osteoarthritis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of epidemiological studies on Osteoarthritis.
  • Analysis of data on OA prevalence and incidence across different age groups.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Synthesis of information on risk factors and disease progression.

    • Main Results:

    • OA affects a significant portion of the adult population, increasing with age.
    • It is a major cause of work disability and hospitalizations.
    • Despite its impact, the epidemiology of OA remains complex.

    Conclusions:

    • Osteoarthritis is a major public health concern due to its high prevalence and impact on disability.
    • Further epidemiological research is needed to fully understand OA.
    • Comprehensive reviews are essential for defining and managing this common joint disorder.
