Prevalence of radiographic knee osteoarthritis in China: a national survey of thirty thousand, four hundred and fifty five individuals cross-sectional study
Our results provide detailed information on knee joint incidence, distribution, and risk factors, which is considered the latest clinical evidence basis for national healthcare planning and prevention efforts in China and other regions. To facilitate KOA prevention, public health policies focusing on risk factors for KOA, such as maintaining a healthy weight, implementing health management, and reducing underlying diseases, should be implemented. Further, men should avoid living in mountainous areas and women should have fewer childbirths and not have knee impairments.
