Hypertension is associated with knee osteoarthritis pain in an age-dependent manner
Hypertension was associated with an age-dependent decline in reported knee pain, poorer physical function, and more severe radiographic knee OA in females. These findings suggest hypertensive individuals may deviate from a progressive OA pain trajectory and contribute to discordance between joint damage and pain.
