Global, regional prevalence, incidence and risk factors of knee osteoarthritis in population-based studies

et al. 2020

Background Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of disability in the elderly, however, there are few studies to estimate the global prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of knee OA. Methods For this study, we searched PUBMED, EMBASE and SCOPUS from inception to April 4, 2020, without language restriction. We identified eligible studies with information on the prevalence or incidence of knee OA in population-based observational studies and extracted data from published reports. We did random-effects meta-analysis to generate estimates. This study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020181035). Findings Out of 9570 records identified, 88 studies with 10,081,952 participants were eligible for this study. The pooled global prevalence of knee OA was 16⋅0% (95% CI, 14⋅3%-17⋅8%) in individuals aged 15 and over and was 22⋅9% (95% CI, 19⋅8%-26⋅1%) in individuals aged 40 and over. Correspondingly, there are around 654⋅1 (95% CI, 565⋅6–745⋅6) million individuals (40 years and older) with knee OA in 2020 worldwide. The pooled global incidence of knee OA was 203 per 10,000 person-years (95% CI, 106–331) in individuals aged 20 and over. Correspondingly, there are around annual 86⋅7 (95% CI, 45⋅3–141⋅3) million individuals (20 years and older) with incident knee OA in 2020 worldwide. The prevalence and incidence varied substantially between individual countries and increased with age. The ratios of prevalence and incidence in females and males were 1⋅69 (95% CI, 1⋅59–1⋅80, p <0⋅00) and 1⋅39 (95% CI, 1⋅24–1⋅56, p <0⋅00), respectively. Interpretation Our study provides the global prevalence (16⋅0% [95% CI, 14⋅3%-17⋅8%]) and incidence (203 per 10,000 person-years [95% CI, 106–331]) of knee OA. These findings can be used to better assess the global health burden of knee OA. Further prospective cohort studies are warranted to identify modifiable risk factors for providing effectively preventive strategies in the early stages of the disease.

All of the 13 studies [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] reported knee OA and 5 (38%) studies The overall prevalence of physician-diagnosed symptomatic knee OA among men and women ≥ 18 years of age (Table 2) ranged from 1.55% in the Peruvian population [21] to 7.4% in Ecuador [14]. Among those ≥ 40 years of age in Mexico, the total prevalence of symptomatic knee OA was 19.6% [18].…”

Assessing the burden of osteoarthritis in Latin America: a rapid evidence assessment

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This rapid evidence assessment (REA) was conducted to explore the burden of weight-bearing joint osteoarthritis in the developing countries of Latin America. REA methodology used a standardized search strategy to identify observational studies published from 2010 to 23 April 2020 that reported outcomes pertaining to the epidemiology and humanistic or economic burden of weight-bearing osteoarthritis. Relevant data from each included study were used to populate bespoke data extraction tables and qualitatively analyzed. Thirteen publications were identified that reported on knee and hip osteoarthritis in the Latin American region. Overall prevalence of physician-diagnosed symptomatic knee osteoarthritis in adults ranged from 1.55% in Peru to 7.4% in Ecuador. Total prevalence of grade ≥ 2 radiographic knee osteoarthritis was 22% among those ≥ 39 years of age in Brazil and 25.5% among those ≥ 40 years of age in Mexico. The prevalence of symptomatic/radiographic knee osteoarthritis was 7.1% in people ≥ 18 years of age in Mexico and 17.6% among those ≥ 40 years of age. Prevalence of hip osteoarthritis was similar to or slightly lower than knee osteoarthritis. The limited data available indicates weight-bearing osteoarthritis negatively affects quality of life and that the economic burden may vary between countries with different healthcare systems. The limited evidence found in the published literature suggests the burden of osteoarthritis in Latin America is substantial. Our analysis identified several evidence gaps, particularly for health-related quality of life and socioeconomic outcomes. Further research is of particular importance in areas where government-subsidized healthcare and resources are scarce.

“…In Ecuador, the study on the quality of life in older adults has begun, but in an incipient way [ 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 ]. Bustamante et al [ 49 ] measured quality of life as a one-dimensional construct and found that a greater sense of quality of life is associated with job type and educational level.…”

“…For their part, Gordillo Altamirano et al [ 50 ] determined that physical functionality is associated with a greater perception of quality of life in terms of physical health, while factors such as anxiety and depression negatively affect the quality of life of older adults, specifically their mental health. Guevara et al [ 56 ] concluded that the prevalence of rheumatic diseases influences a lower quality of life in indigenous older adults. In this sense, the present study differs from others carried out in the elderly population of Ecuador since it considers the multidimensionality of the quality of life and incorporates numerous sociodemographic factors that have not been analyzed in this population (e.g., sports practice, the performance of medical examinations).…”

Quality of Life in Older Adults: Evidence from Mexico and Ecuador

et al. 2021

Older adults are a growing population group in Latin America, hence the importance of deepening studies, proposals, and policies to guarantee their well-being. This article analyzes the perception of quality of life in older adults from Mexico and Ecuador and its association with several socioeconomic variables. The study design was cross-sectional. The sample comprised 450 older adults, 238 from Mexico and 212 from Ecuador. The WHOQOL-OLD Quality of Life Questionnaire and a set of sociodemographic variables were used. The results showed a higher perception of quality of life in the Mexican sample regarding most of the dimensions, except for sensory skills and social participation. An association was also found between sensory skills and sports practice, as well as between social participation and education level. The study achieves a binational approach to the reality of older adults in Latin America and confirms that there are differences in each sample that are due to the particularities of each reality. This research contributes to deepening the reality of the elderly, especially in Ecuador, where the quality-of-life studies in all age segments must be strengthened.
