Relationships between pain, physical activity and sleep quality among older adults with radiographic knee osteoarthritis: findings from the Hertfordshire Cohort Study
Relationships between joint pain and poor sleep quality among older adults with radiographic knee OA were similar, regardless of physical activity level. Our results highlight the high prevalence of both sleep disturbance and significant knee pain in this group, illustrating the need to consider supportive measures as appropriate in this population.
