“…Worldwide estimates are that 9.6% of men and 18.0% of women aged ≥60 years have symptomatic osteoarthritis where as in India it ranges from 14-47%. [1][2][3] The prevalence of osteoarthritis increases indefinitely with age, because the condition is not reversible. Before the age of 45, more men than women have osteoarthritis; after age 45, it is more common in women.…”

“…This observation is similar to that in other studies. 5,6,7 OA was more in women compared to men in our study (66% vs. 34% respectively). This difference can be possibly due to the lack of physical activity, mobility and higher prevalence of obesity among women in general.…”

INTRODUCTIONOsteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease with progressive destruction of articular cartilage and decrease of synovial fluid that lubricates those joints. It progresses slowly with usual signs and symptoms being pain and limitation of the range of motion.1 It is the commonest form of arthritis. Its prevalence in India is (22% to 39%).2 It is also a leading cause of disability affecting 60-70% of the population older than 60 years. It usually affects large weight bearing joints, often the knee.The worldwide prevalence estimate for symptomatic OA is 9.6% among men and 18% among women. It accounts for the decrease in activities of daily living (ADL) in elderly dependent population in the community. High risk population includes female gender, old age and overweight. Among females, the prevalence of OA is said to increase during menopausal age. Many studies have shown that loss of oestrogen at the time of menopause increases the women's risk of getting osteoarthritis.A hospital based study was carried out with a purpose to assess the effectiveness of quadriceps exercises in management of OA among the study population. METHODSA hospital based study was carried out for a period of six months at our hospital and all the patients in the age group of 40-65 years attending Orthopaedics outpatient department, and suffering from mild to moderate Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee joint, which was diagnosed from symptoms, clinical examinations and ABSTRACT Background: Osteoarthritis of knee joint is a common clinical condition among patients attending orthopaedics outpatient department. The role of quadriceps exercises in its management is not effectively stressed. Hence this study was carried out to assess the role of Quadriceps exercises in management of Osteoarthritis of Knee and reduce the morbidity associated with it. Methods: A total of one hundred patients in the age group of 40-65 years and suffering from mild to moderate Osteoarthritis of the knee joint were included in the study. Subjects were divided into two groups, Group I receiving drug therapy only and Group II receiving physiotherapy also, in the form of quadriceps exercises. Data was recorded on a proforma designed to assess symptomatic relief after two weeks. Results: Participants in group II with exercise program had improvements in physical function and symptom relief, decrease in knee pain and increase in range of motion, more than that of participants in group I. It was observed that majority of the study subjects, 39 (78%) had excellent result in group II, whereas 12 (24%) patients from group I had poor result. Conclusions: There is relationship between age, sex and quadriceps exercise with osteoarthritis of knee. Moderate quadriceps exercise is a safe and effective prevention and therapy for Osteoarthritis of knee.

“…8 Prevalence of osteoarthritis was higher among illiterate women 42 (52.5%) and it was also found to be higher among women belonging to upper lower socioeconomic class 36 (55.2%) as compared to study conducted by Salve H et al from Delhi which showed that the prevalence of osteoarthritis was found to be high in illiterate women as compared to literate women and it was also found to be higher among low socioeconomic class 32 (55.2%). 8 We also found that, among 66 women who had osteoarthritis, 68.2 % were currently on treatment and 16.70% were receiving treatment from government facility, 19.70% and 3% were seeking treatment from chemist and traditional healers respectively, 31.80% did not receive any treatment as compared to study conducted by Salve H et al from Delhi which showed that out of 123 women with osteoarthritis only 53 (43%) were currently on treatment, out of which 40 (78.4%)are receiving treatment from government facility whereas remaining participants were seeking treatment from private practitioners, chemist and traditional healers. More than half of women (57%) who were suffering from osteoarthritis did not seek any kind of treatment.…”

A study on knee joint osteoarthritis among the women aged above 40 years, residing in the urban field practice area at tertiary care centre, Bangalore, Karnataka, India B. C. Narasimha, K. S. Ravish*, T. S. Ranganath, S. Navya Sri INTRODUCTIONOsteoarthritis (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. 1Prevalence 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 ABSTRACTBackground: 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.
