Temporal trends of knee osteoarthritis prevalence over a 7-year period in Chinese adults: findings from the CHARLS study 2011–2018
The study reveals a double increase in symptomatic KOA prevalence among Chinese adults aged 45 and older from 2011 to 2018. These findings provide new insights into the growing burden of KOA, despite previous research underestimating this trend. Future research on public health policies necessitates more rigorous and comprehensive studies for valuable insights.
