“…In the current study, the older adults with arthritis showed significantly different levels of HRQOL depending on their age; however, no difference was found for the older adults without arthritis. This is similar to the previous studies that found that older adults with arthritis reported lower quality of life than older adults without arthritis [27,28], the quality of life is worse as age increases [29]. We also need to consider HRQOL based on cultural background because family social support influences successful aging and quality of life in the Korean older adults [30,31].…”

“…In line with global data, the prevalence of OA was high in the elderly population (30.8 % in those aged 46–55 years and 60.6 % in those aged 66–75 years) [8]. Another recent study found that elderly Saudi patients with OA had significantly higher pain scores and physical disability than those without OA, leading to a negative impact on their quality of life [9]. Clearly, there is an important role for pain medications in the management of OA in Saudi Arabia.…”

“…The present study also demonstrated that increased disease duration was associated lower physical activity among knee and hip OA patients. Another study reported that patients' QOL was negatively correlated with disease duration, indicating the longer disease duration, the worse QOL 16 . Another study also supported that an increased OA disease duration was significantly associated with low HRQOL 17 .…”
