Impact of Knee Pain and Osteoarthritis on Quality of Life: A Comprehensive Assessment of Physical, Social, and Psychological Factors
The findings suggest that QoL is influenced more by general factors such as psychological well-being (depression), pain (knee injuries), and overall health (BMI) rather than the specific diagnosis of OA. This underscores the importance of addressing these broader health attributes to improve the QoL in patients with knee-related issues.
