Global, regional, and national burdens of osteoarthritis from 1990 to 2021: findings from the 2021 global burden of disease study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic degenerative joint disease and a major contributor to disability and elevated morbidity rates worldwide. This study assesses the epidemiological trends of OA from 1990 to 2021, analyzing data by sex, affected joint sites, and Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) across global, regional, and national levels.

Methods

Data on OA were obtained from the (Global Burden of Disease Study) 2021. The age-standardized rates (ASR) for OA were computed, and the estimated annual percentage changes (EAPC) in ASR were determined to evaluate trends in incidence and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) over the past three decades. Pearson's correlation analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between ASR and the Socio-Demographic Index (
