“…Female sex was a risk factor for incident K/L Grade ≥2 knee OA, but was not associated with incident K/L Grade ≥3 knee OA or progressive knee OA. Similar female preponderance in cases of knee OA was also reported by the authors such as Bala et al [10] and Andrianakos et al [11].…”

Objectives: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the common causes of significant morbidity in elderly individuals. It typically manifests as painful joints affecting mobility in individuals particularly women in and after fifth or sixth decade of life. While most of the mild-to-moderate cases are managed conservatively, in severe OA total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is being increasingly done with good functional outcome. The aim of the study was to assess functional outcome in case knee OA cases treated by TKA. The study aimed to study the complication in patients undergoing TKA. Methods: Forty patients with moderate-to-severe knee OA and treated by TKA were included in this study on the basis of a predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic details such as gender and age were noted in all the cases. Body mass index (BMI) was determined. All patients were treated by TKA. Functional outcome was assessed by Japanese Orthopaedic Association score (JOA) as well as Functional knee clinical score (KCS). Incidence of complications was assessed during follow-up. For statistical purposes, p<0.05 was taken as significant. Results: There were 25 (62.50%) females and 15 (37.50%) males with a M: F ratio of 1:1.66. 13 (32.50%) patients were obese (BMI≥30) and 16 (40.00%) patients were overweight (BMI≥25 but <30). A total of 11 (27.50%) patients had BMI <25. The mean KCS as well as JOA scores at the time of final follow-up were found to be significantly improved as compared to KCS and JOA scores at the time of presentation and the difference was found to be statistically highly significant (p<0.05). There was a significant reduction in pain as assessed by VAS score. Total 6 (15%) patients developed complication which could be managed conservatively. Conclusion: TKA in patients with moderate-to-severe OA treated by TKA is associated with significant improvement in functional outcome and acceptable complication rate.

“…The reason for this may be the aging of the population and increased risk factors for knee osteoarthritis (such as low physical activity and high body mass index) in recent years [21][22][23]. In addition, with the development of the economy, the improvement of people's health-seeking behaviors have also led to the increase in disease detection rate, which may also be one of the reasons for the increasing prevalence of knee OA year by year [24].…”

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) provides many challenges on the healthcare system. However, few studies have reported the epidemiology, particularly in a large population. Our study aimed to estimate the prevalence, incidence, trends, and patterns of diagnosed KOA in China. Methods: This was a longitudinal study. We used health insurance claims of 17.7 million adults from 2008–2017 to identify people with KOA. Trends in prevalence and incidence were analyzed using joinpoint regression. Results: We identified 2,447,990 people with KOA in Beijing, 60% of which were women. The 10-year average age-standardized prevalence and incidence of KOA was, respectively, 4.6% and 25.2 per 1000 person-years. Prevalence increased with age, surging after 55 years old. The average crude prevalence was 13.2% for people over 55 years old. The prevalence showed an increasing trend from 2008 to 2017, including a period of rapid rise from 2008 to 2011 (p < 0.05); the increase in prevalence was greatest in people under 35 years old (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Our analyses showed that the annual prevalence rate of KOA increased significantly from 2008 to 2017 in China. We need to increase our attention to women and the elderly over 55 years old, and also be alert to the younger trend of incidence of KOA.

Purpose: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disease characterized by cartilage breakdown and functional impairment. Its incidence is rising due to factors such as aging, sedentary lifestyles and obesity. Early detection and intervention are crucial for managing the condition effectively. Risk factors include age, obesity, previous joint injuries, genetics and occupational factors. Improved understanding and awareness of knee osteoarthritis can help reduce its impact on individuals and health care systems. This study seeks to as certain how well-aware middle-aged adults of rural population about symptoms and risk factors of knee osteoarthritis. To determine the prevalence, signs, and risk factors for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis in middle-aged persons in rural areas. Methodology: From March until the beginning of August 2023, a cross-sectional survey was undertaken in the Pakistani district of Sialkot to raise awareness about the study. Both men and women of Pakistani nationality were included, but only those who were 40 to 60 years old. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data on sociodemographic traits, knowledge of the condition, symptoms, and risk factors associated with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis in middle-aged persons living in rural areas. Any ambiguities or concerns students had about the questions were clarified and addressed prior to the start of any data gathering activities. Findings: There were 167 (45.26%) males and 202 (54.74%) females. The education level were 139 (37.94%) primary studied people, 96 (24.39%) middle studied people, 93 (25.47%) matric studied people and 45(12.20%) secondary studied people who lived in rural area. Recommendations: In conclusion, improving middle-aged persons' low levels of OA awareness and understanding has enormous potential for both personal and societal well-being. We can enable this age group to take control of their health, make informed decisions, and contribute to a healthy society by targeting them with targeted educational campaigns, seminars, and treatments. The effects go beyond one's own health, including economic output, the transmission of health information between generations, and a greater feeling of social wellbeing.
