Biomolecular and Health Science Journal, 2018
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease which affects joint cartilage. Almost 80% patients movement are limited and 25% of them can not even perform daily activities. Due to its chronic and progressive nature, socioeconomic impacts in many developed and developing countries are enormous. We aimed to determine the profile of patients with osteoarthritis in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya. Method: This was an observasional research. Questionnaires data were obtained from September-October 2016. Thirty five subjects with osteoarthritis were analyzed for the study. The variables observed include sex, age, body mass index, type of osteoarthritis, Kellgren-Lawrence scoring system, and knee osteoarthritis severity index. Result: The result shows that 43% of the samples were aged 60-69 years, 83% of the samples were female, 37% of the samples had an I BMI obesity, 60% of samples had bilateral osteoarthritis, and 77% of samples from primary osteoarthritis. A total of 15 of 53 knee samples had class III, and 15 of 53 knee samples also had class I, and as many as 21 of the 35 samples had a "very severe" clinical gradation. These results may be due to patients who have low grade gradation clinics and have received medical attention at the level I health facility or II. Conclusion: From the results of this study, it can be concluded that age, sex, BMI, Kellgren-Lawrence assessment system, index severity of patients Lequesne osteoarthritis in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya is in conformity with research that has been done in many places and theories that exist.
Osteoarthritis, classification, prevalence and risk factors
Purpose of study: This study was aimed to make a comprehensive review over prevalence of osteoarthritis and risk factors associated with it and to relate the latest findings with it. Summary: Osteoarthritis is the major chronic disease causing disability. Patients suffering from it feel pain and become unable to walk or work. Mostly affected joints were hip, knee, hand and foot. Its classification and phenotypes were also discussed. Recent studies also agreed that obesity and aging are the major risks for the prevalence of osteoarthritis. Malnutrition and socioeconomic condition also has impact on disease prevalence along with heredity factors. Occupation with severe workload on joints and injuries increase risk of osteoarthritis. Females are getting this disease more compared to men. Diagnosis methods are progressing and MRI is more helpful in diagnosis. Osteoarthritis showed increase in prevalence during previous years. Person level and joint level risks studies were also reviewed.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease. The development of osteoarthritis is dependent on age, sex, genetic predisposition and previous trauma to the joint and abnormal mechanical forces caused primarily by obesity. Biochemically, there is an imbalance in the enzyme of cartilage degradation and cartilage regeneration that is involved in pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. 1 Prevalence of Knee osteoarthritis is reported to increase in females during premenopausal age and remains high throughout menopause. The reason for this is revealed in many studies that, loss of oestrogen at the time of menopause increases a woman's risk of getting osteoarthritis. 2 ABSTRACT Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease. Prevalence of knee osteoarthritis is reported to increase in females during premenopausal age and remains high throughout menopause. The Indian elderly population has increased to 8.6% in 2011 census, with life expectancy of 68.2 years. This has led Indian women to live with problem of osteoarthritis for long time as compared to other countries. Osteoarthritis is also associated with decreased physical activity and in turn affecting health related quality of life. Hence this study is taken up to estimate the prevalence of osteoarthritis and to assess the treatment seeking behavior of women in the community. Methods: A community based cross sectional study was conducted on 120 women above the age of 40 years from January to March 2015 in urban field practice area of BMCRI. Data collection was done by house to house visit. Information was collected by using a pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire. Results: The estimated prevalence of knee osteoarthritis among women aged 40 years and above was 55% (66). Out of 66 women who had osteoarthritis 68.2% were currently on treatment. We also found that 65.2% (43) of the women had difficulty in doing daily routine activities. Conclusion: The high prevalence of knee osteoarthritis is due to majority of women is developing osteoarthritis at a younger age. This is leading to decrease in quality of life of women at a younger age group in the community.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Osteoarthritis in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, 2015
International journal of scientific research, 2016
Objective. According to experts of International Association on the Study of Pain, 12% of patients older than 40 years complained of pain in the joints, 50% of older people experience difficulty walking and climbing stairs, more than 15% are expressly limited mobility, and after 75 years this figure rises to 30%. The reason - is progressive degenerative lesions of joints cartilage structure or deforming osteoarthrosis (OA). Risk factors of OA can be divided into genetic (female sex, mutation of collagen II gene (COL2A1), inherited disorders of collagen II, hereditary pathology of bones and joints, ethnicity), non-genetic (age over 45, overweight, postmenopause, deficiency of vitamin D, inflammatory diseases of the joints, endocrine diseases, metabolic disorders, hypertension, hyperuricemia, aseptic necrosis of bones, osteoporosis) and factors of environment (surgery, joint injuries, occupational stress, over-employment sports). The aim of current research was to determine the preval...
Osteoarthritis Among Women in Bahrain: A Public Health Audit
Oman Medical Journal, 2011
Objective: This study aims to train students on public health survey; correlate risk factors of osteoarthritis and to identify modifiable risk factors. Methods: Osteoarthritis survey was carried out among 420 Bahraini women, above 40 years of age, diagnosed of osteoarthritis, attending ministry of health facilities. Results: Most cases in the study were from the age group of 50-59 years with a mean age of 57. Osteoarthritis: of major joints alone was 74%; of generalized was 21% and of small joints of hands and feet alone was 5%. Within major osteoarthritis: 48% were knees alone; 51% were knee and hip and 2% were hip alone. Combinations of co-morbidities were found among 43%. History of diagnosed: diabetes in 10%, hypertension among 13% and hypercholesterolemia in 5% of cases. Half of the cases in the study were obese and 30% were overweight. Osteoarthritis of the Knee and the combination of the osteoarthritis of knee and hip was highest among obese followed by overweight cases. Menopause was found among 68%of patients. Patients on medication accounted for 85% and 75% were on Physiotherapy. Half of the sample had family history of osteoarthritis. While over 90% were less educated with odds ratio for being housewives at 3.085. The multivariate analysis of ordinal regression returned pseudo R 2 of 30% for the model with the following significant variables: age, BMI, menopause status, exercise, chronic morbidities and family history of osteoarthritis. Conclusion: Overall, the proportion of major osteoarthritis of the weight bearing joints is very high. The modifiable risk factors identified from this study are sedentary lifestyle, obesity and overweight, as well as chronic morbidities.
Prevalence and Incidence of Osteoarthritis: A Population-Based Retrospective Cohort Study
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021
While trends data of osteoarthritis (OA) are accumulating, primarily from Western Europe and the US, a gap persists in the knowledge of OA epidemiology in Middle Eastern populations. This study aimed to explore the prevalence, incidence, correlations, and temporal trends of OA in Israel during 2013–2018, using a nationally representative primary care database. On 31 December 2018, a total of 180,126 OA patients were identified, representing a point prevalence of 115.3 per 1000 persons (95% CI, 114.8–115.8 per 1000 persons). Geographically, OA prevalence was not uniformly distributed, with the Southern and Northern peripheral districts having a higher prevalence than the rest of the Israeli regions. OA incidence increased over time from 7.36 per 1000 persons (95% CI 6.21–7.50 per 1000 persons) in 2013 to 8.23 per 1000 persons (95% CI 8.09–8.38 per 1000 persons) in 2017 (p-value for trend = 0.02). The incidence was lowest in patients under 60 years (in both sexes) and peaked at 60–70 ...
