Osteoarthritis is one of the most important contributions to the burden of disease. 50% of those aged 65 and 80% of those aged 75 years show radiological signs of osteoarthritis. Risk factors for incidence and progression of osteoarthritis vary considerably according to the type of joint. There is only a modest relationship between the radiographic severity of joint damage and the incidence and severity of pain. Psychosocial and socioeconomic factors play an important role for the development of pain in osteoarthritis.
骨关节炎是导致疾病负担的最重要因素之一。65岁人群中有50%以及75岁人群中有80%表现出骨关节炎的放射学迹象。骨关节炎发病和进展的危险因素因关节类型而异。关节损伤的放射学严重程度与疼痛的发生率和严重程度之间只有适度的关联。社会心理和社会经济因素在骨关节炎疼痛的发生中起重要作用。
