Body mass index and health-related quality of life of outpatients with knee osteoarthritis: evidence from a cross-sectional study
The HRQoL of knee osteoarthritis outpatients was considerably impaired and was significantly associated with BMI. These findings emphasize the importance of weight examination and management in outpatients with knee osteoarthritis for healthcare providers. Supplementary data were provided for public health-related policies and health economics studies, contributing to the development of effective management strategies and increasing the breadth of knowledge of HRQoL in outpatients with knee osteoarthritis.
