The global burden of osteoarthritis knee: a secondary data analysis of a population-based study

In conclusion, osteoarthritis knee represents a formidable threat to global public health, necessitating the development of proactive and tailored strategic interventions that account for global-specific contexts. Key Points • Females and individuals over 50 years old were identified as high-risk populations. • Higher socio-demographic index regions were identified as high-risk areas. • The disease burden attributable to osteoarthritis knee increased from 1990 to 2019. • The number of deaths and DALYs cases would still increase in the next 25 years.
