Epidemiology and Demographics
The available data about the incidence and prevalence of osteoarthritis are different. For example, OA mostly assessed by radiography which there should be a marked damage to be detectable in radiography.
Near 6% of adults with the age of 30 years suffer from repeated knee pain and in their radiographic evaluation reveal osteoarthritis. As previously mentioned in risk factors for OA are: age, female sex, and nutritional deficiencies, occupational involvements, trauma, genetic, and race.
