Epidemiological trends of osteoarthritis at the global, regional, and national levels from 1990 to 2021 and projections to 2050
As an ageing population and rising obesity rates, the burden of osteoarthritis will continue to rise, with females and the middle-aged and older age groups being the current populations of concern. Awareness-raising, early detection, and effective management are essential to reduce the burden of osteoarthritis in the coming decades, especially among vulnerable groups.
