Factors associated with disability among middle-aged and older African American women with osteoarthritis

Abstract: Background Middle-Aged and older African American women experience disproportionate rates of functional limitations and disability from osteoarthritis (OA) compared to other racial ethnic groups; however, little is known about what factors contribute to this disparity within African American women. Objective To examine factors associated with physical function and disability among African American women ages 50–80 with OA using the disablement process model. Methods This descriptive study included 120 Afri… Show more

“…In addition, they had knee OA for an average of 7.5 years and reported more KP than those with mild/moderate knee OA for 4 years with slight knee pain. Similar to our study variables, other recent studies [ 10 , 19 ] and one epidemiological study [ 20 ] also found relationships between radiographic knee OA, age, BMI, duration of knee OA, and pain severity.…”

“…121330 Walker and colleagues found that pain severity was associated with functional limitations and disability and that depressive symptoms were associated with disability among middle aged and older African American women with OA. 31 Though no studies have shared the exact design of the current analysis, several have identified similar associations between pain and depression as well as between depression and functional limitations.…”

“…For example, empirical evidence suggests racial discrimination among African Americans is associated with greater bodily pain (Burgess et al, 2009) and disability (Walker, Harrison, Brown, Thorpe, & Szanton, 2016). Very few investigators have studied the effects of pain on ADL disability and whether or not racial discrimination moderates this relationship.…”

“…Researchers have also reported that African Americans experienced more disability related pain than other racial ethnic groups (Ndao-Brumblay & Green, 2005; Ruehlman, Karoly, & Newton, 2005) and African American women experience more pain related disability than non-Hispanic White women in particular (Ndao-Brumblay & Green, 2005). Within African American samples, researchers have reported that more pain was significantly related to poorer physical functioning (Baker & Green, 2005; Baker & Whitfield, 2006; Walker, Harrison, Brown, Thorpe, & Szanton, 2016). …”
