“…The incidence of osteoarthritis of knee was 1.42/ 100 person years with almost equal preponderance in both sexes. In COPCORD surveys, the prevalence of osteoarthritis of knee was 5.1% 10 in Indonesia, 3% in Filipino rural community, 11 5.8% in rural area of India 12 and 3.7% in Pakistan. 5 The total annual incidence rates of osteoarthritis of knees were 28.7/100,000 person years of observation in Norway, 13 0.15 to 0.36/1000 in Greece, 14 39/100,000 of the population of 16 years and above age in Finland, 15 22 per 100,000 in man and 60 per 100,000 in woman in USA 16 in patients aged 18 or older.…”

“…The low cost approach had been shown to be suitable for the study in developing countries. 7 Nonspecific low back pain was the most common disorder and its incidence was 6.11/ 100 person years (95% CI 5.25-7.10) followed by fibromyalgia, 4.32/100 person years (95% CI 3.60-5.18). A female preponderance was observed in almost all rheumatic disorders.…”

“…From the COPCORD studies conducted to‐date in the Asian region and providing estimates of knee pain (phase 1) or knee OA (phase 3), it is evident that the prevalence of either knee pain or knee OA is high, particularly given that the cohorts are quite young, usually 15 years or over, with a mean age mostly between 30 and 39 years (Tables 1 and 2). 10–24 The COPCORD studies providing age and gender‐stratified prevalence estimates generally demonstrate that prevalence increases with age and is higher among women. It is difficult to compare prevalence estimates between the COPCORD studies due to some differences in the screening pain questionnaire terminology and survey methodology, as well as the often incomparable age stratifications reported.…”

Worldwide, osteoarthritis (OA) is estimated to be the fourth leading cause of disability. Most of this disability burden is attributable to the involvement of the hips or the knees. OA is strongly associated with ageing and the Asian region is ageing rapidly. Further, OA has been associated with heavy physical occupational activity, a required livelihood for many people living in rural communities in developing countries. Unfortunately, joint replacement surgery, an effective intervention for people with severe OA involving the hips or knees, is inaccessible to most people in these regions. On the other hand, obesity, another major risk factor, may be less prevalent, although it is on the increase. Determining region-specific OA prevalence and risk factor profiles will provide important information for planning future cost-effective preventive strategies and health care services. An update of what is currently known about the prevalence of hip and knee OA from population-based studies conducted in the Asian region is presented in this review. Many of the recent studies have conducted comparisons between urban and rural areas and poor and affluent communities. The results of Asian-based studies evaluating risk factors from population-based cohorts or case-control studies, and the current evidence on OA morbidity burden in Asia is also outlined.

“…Stage I optimises the use of local skilled staff and the available resources in a three phase collection of data on rheumatic disease. 2 The objective of this study was to identify the scale of the problem of musculoskeletal pain and to collect data on existing help resources in a developing country. Based on the results of the incidence study, the stage II COPCORD or education ofthe primary health care professionals may be considered.…”

To determine the incidence of musculoskeletal pain, disabilities, and help seeking behaviour, a questionnaire was administered to a rural population of 2184 men and 2499 women and an urban population of 481 men and 590 women aged over 15 years by house to house interviews with completion rates of 95-2% (rural) and 97-1% (urban). The incidences of pain in the joints, back, or neck were 23-6% (rural) and 31-3% (urban). The incidence of disability due to an inability to walk, lift, carry, and dress was 2-8% (rural) and 0-9% (urban). Patients and methodsThe total populations of 2499 women and 2184 men from two villages and the total populations of 590 women and 481 men from two city neighbourhoods, which were considered to be similar to the rural and urban population of Java, respectively, in demographic characteristics such as life expectancy, age structure, sex distribution, race, income, culture, religion, occupations, and social class,3 4 were selected for a house to house interview survey designed to determine musculoskeletal pain, disability, and help seeking behaviour with the phase 2 questionnaire. The rural population consisted of 75% farmhands and farmers, 18% labourers, and 7% employed by motels, hotels, and village offices. They lived in well defined hamlets surrounded by rice fields and market gardens, mostly in thatched houses. The average life expectancy was 45 years for men and 50 for women, despite a heavier workload (Bandungan community health centre data, 1982) for the women.The urban target areas were situated near the centre of a city with more than 900 000 inhabitants with an average life span of 50 and 55 years for men and women, respectively. Its social strata was predominantly classes 5 (unskilled occupations) and 4 (partly skilled occupations) with some class 3 (skilled occupations) and very few classes 2 (intermediate occupations) and 1 (professional occupations). All the rural and urban target populations were Javanese (Malayo-Polynesians) except a negligible number (less than 0-5%) of Chinese (Mongoloids) who were included in the urban subjects.3 4The rural and urban populations were not socially stratified but were considered to represent the social strata of Javanese rural and urban populations.The phase 1 questionnaire (omitted in this survey) records the occurrence of musculoskeletal pain in various body sites and disabilities as determined by primary health care workers2
