population. These studies suggest a multifactorial mechanism of association between AD and OA.Among the primary limitations of this study, survey responses to AD and OA history may be subject to recall bias. The estimates in this study may also underrepresent the true prevalence of AD as non-flexural episodes of adult-onset AD may go undiagnosed. 6 In conclusion, AD is associated with OA in US adults. Further large cohort studies are warranted to characterize temporality between AD diagnosis and OA onset, especially in obese and sedentary patients.
