Wilfong JM, Badley EM, Perruccio AV. Old Before Their Time? The Impact of Osteoarthritis on Younger Adults. Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 2024; 76:1400-1408. [PMID: 38751094 DOI: 10.1002/acr.25374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis (OA) is frequently perceived as a disease of the elderly and an inevitable result of aging. Because OA studies often are restricted to older adults, there is limited information on OA in younger adults. This study describes the burden of OA across a wide age range and compares younger and older adults. METHODS Descriptive analysis of the Survey on Living with Chronic Diseases in Canada - Arthritis Component, a nationally representative survey of Canadians ≥20 years who reported an arthritis diagnosis in the Canadian Community Health Survey, a general health population survey. Analyses were restricted to those reporting OA and no other kind of arthritis (n = 1,749). RESULTS In the representative group with OA, 55.4% were younger than 65 years. The mean age at diagnosis was 50 years, with 30.4% reporting being diagnosed before age 45 years. Younger adults reported similar symptom severity as their older counterparts with OA regarding the mean number of affected joint sites, severity of pain and fatigue, and activity limitations. In the youngest age group, those with OA were significantly more likely to report fair or poor overall and mental health and life dissatisfaction compared with their general counterparts; the same was not the case in the oldest age group. CONCLUSION OA is not uncommon among younger and middle-aged adults, and they experience OA impacts comparable with those for older adults. These findings suggest that younger adults with OA will live many years with symptoms and disability and highlight a need for effective OA management across ages.

Association of Sleep Quality and General, Mental, and Oral Health with Lifestyle Traits (Dietary Intake, Smoking Status) in Arthritis: A Cross-Sectional Study from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). Nutrients 2024; 16:2091. [PMID: 38999838 PMCID: PMC11243648 DOI: 10.3390/nu16132091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Arthritis is associated with health challenges. Lifestyle traits are believed to influence arthritis development and progression; however, data to support personalized treatment regimens based on holistic lifestyle factors are missing. This study aims to provide a comprehensive list of associations between lifestyle traits and the health status of individuals with arthritis in the Canadian population, using binary logistic regression analysis on data from the Canadian Community Health Survey, which includes 104,359 respondents. Firstly, we explored the association between arthritis and various aspects of health status including self-reported lifestyle factors. Secondly, we examined the associations between self-reported dietary intake and smoking status with general, mental, and oral health, and sleep disturbance among individuals both with and without arthritis. Our analysis revealed that individuals with arthritis reported considerably poorer general, mental, and oral health, and poorer sleep quality compared to those without arthritis. Associations were also found between self-reported dietary intake and various measures of health status in individuals with arthritis. Smoking and exposure to passive smoking were associated not only with arthritis but also with compromised sleep quality and poorer general, mental, and oral health in people with and without arthritis. This study highlights the need for personalized and holistic approaches that may include a combination of dietary interventions, oral health improvements, sleep therapies, and smoking cessation for improved arthritis prevention and care.

Social determinants of health in patients with arthritis: a cross-sectional analysis of the 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. J Osteopath Med 2024; 124:69-75. [PMID: 37860841 DOI: 10.1515/jom-2022-0162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Social determinants of health (SDOH) are economic, social, and political conditions that affect a person's overall health or the health of a group of people. Researchers have investigated the effects of SDOH on various diseases, such as asthma, obesity, and chronic stress, but few publications have been made regarding its effects on arthritis. OBJECTIVES Our primary objective was to analyze the implications of SDOH on disease severity relating to pain levels and limitations experienced among people with diagnosed arthritis. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional analysis of the 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). We included individuals who reported having arthritis, were over the age of 45, and who also completed the SDOH module. Pain scores from the four-question Arthritis Burden Module were correlated to question responses pertaining to SDOH to determine their associations. RESULTS For the analysis, our sample size was 25,682, with response rates varying slightly among the SDOH questions. Individuals diagnosed with arthritis were more likely to report functional limitations if they experienced food insecurity (χ2=234.0, p<0.001), financial instability (χ2=149.7, p<0.001), or frequent stress (χ2=297.6, p<0.001). Further, we found that individuals with arthritis experiencing any domain of SDOH reported higher mean pain scores than those not experiencing that domain, with the highest pain score difference among those reporting frequent stress (Coefficient: 1.93, CI=1.74-2.13, t=19.43, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our results show that SDOH profoundly impact pain levels and limitations experienced by patients with arthritis. Although work has already begun to help alleviate burdens associated with SDOH, more research and actions are required to create equitable health throughout the population.

Abstract
Background Considering its high prevalence, estimating the risk of arthritis in middle-aged and older Chinese adults is of particular interest. This study was conducted to develop a risk prediction model for arthritis in community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults in China. Methods Our study included a total of 9599 participants utilising data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Participants were randomly assigned to training and validation groups at a 7:3 ratio. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were used to identify the potential predictors of arthritis. Based on the results of the multivariate binary logistic regression, a nomogram was constructed, and its predictive performance was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The accuracy and discrimination ability were assessed using calibration curve analysis, while decision curve analysis (DCA) was performed to evaluate the net clinical benefit rate. Results A total of 9599 participants were included in the study, of which 6716 and 2883 were assigned to the training and validation groups, respectively. A nomogram was constructed to include age, hypertension, heart diseases, gender, sleep time, body mass index (BMI), residence address, the parts of joint pain, and trouble with body pains. The results of the ROC curve suggested that the prediction model had a moderate discrimination ability (AUC >0.7). The calibration curve of the prediction model demonstrated a good predictive accuracy. The DCA curves revealed a favourable net benefit for the prediction model. Conclusions The predictive model demonstrated good discrimination, calibration, and clinical validity, and can help community physicians and clinicians to preliminarily assess the risk of arthritis in middle-aged and older community-dwelling adults.

Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 2023; 75:2336-2344.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize the profile of individuals with and without knee osteoarthritis (OA) who fell, and to identify factors contributing to an individual with knee OA experiencing 1 or multiple injurious falls. METHODS Data are from the baseline and 3-year follow-up questionnaires of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging, a population-based study of people ages 45-85 years at baseline. Analyses were limited to individuals either reporting knee OA or no arthritis at baseline (n = 21,710). Differences between falling patterns among those with and without knee OA were tested using chi-square tests and multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models. An ordinal logistic regression model examined predictors of experiencing 1 or more injurious falls among individuals with knee OA. RESULTS Among individuals reporting knee OA, 10% reported 1 or more injurious falls; 6% reported 1 fall, and 4% reported 2+ falls. Having knee OA significantly contributed to the risk of falling (odds ratio [OR] 1.33 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.14-1.56]), and individuals with knee OA were more likely to report having a fall indoors while standing or walking. Among individuals with knee OA, reporting a previous fall (OR 1.75 [95% CI 1.22-2.52]), previous fracture (OR 1.42 [95% CI 1.12-1.80]), and having urinary incontinence (OR 1.38 [95% CI 1.01-1.88]) were significant predictors of falling. CONCLUSION Our findings support the idea that knee OA is an independent risk factor for falls. The circumstances in which falls occur differ from those for individuals without knee OA. The risk factors and environments that are associated with falling may provide opportunities for clinical intervention and fall prevention strategies.

Abstract
Objective To understand differences between people with arthritis who do not know their type (DK) compared to those reporting osteoarthritis (OA) or inflammatory and autoimmune types of arthritis (IAA), including the receipt of appropriate health care, information, and services. Methods Analysis of the Survey on Living with Chronic Disease in Canada–Arthritis Component. Respondents aged ≥20 years with health professional-diagnosed arthritis (n = 4,385) were characterized as reporting DK, OA or IAA. Variables: arthritis characteristics (duration, number and site of joints affected), arthritis impact (current pain and fatigue, difficulty in sleeping and daily activities, impact on life), health (self-rated general and mental health, life stress), arthritis management strategies (seeing health professionals, medication use, assistive devices, receipt of arthritis information, self-management activities). Multinomial logistic and log-Poisson regressions were used, as appropriate, to compare the DK to the OA and IAA groups. Results In this arthritis sample, 44.2% were in the DK group, 38.3% reported OA and 17.5% reported IAA. Those in the DK group were more likely to be younger, have low income, low education, and be of non-white cultural background compared to those with OA. There were no significant differences in arthritis impact, but the DK group was less likely to have received information on, or have used, arthritis management strategies. Conclusions The sociodemographic characteristics of the DK group suggest they likely have lower health literacy. They were less likely to have accessed health care and other support services, indicating this is an important group for health education, both for individuals with arthritis and health care providers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the magnitude and costs of ambulatory primary and specialist physician care and hospital service use for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in Canada's largest province, Ontario. METHODS Administrative health databases were analyzed for fiscal year 2013-2014 for adults 18+ years, including data on physician services, emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations. ICD diagnostic codes were used to identify MSD services. A validated algorithm was used to estimate direct medical costs. Person visit rates and numbers of persons and visits were tabulated by care setting, age and sex, and physician specialty. Data were examined for all MSDs combined as well as specific diagnostic groupings. RESULTS Overall, 3.1 million adult Ontarians (28.5%) made 8 million outpatient physician visits associated with MSDs. These included 5.6 million primary care visits. MSDs accounted for 560,000, 12.3%, of all adult ED visits. Total costs for MSD-related care were $1.6 billion, with 12.6% of costs attributed to primary care, 9.2% to specialist care, 8.6% to ED care, 8.5% to day surgery and 61.2% of total costs associated with inpatient hospitalizations. Costs due to arthritis accounted for 40% of total MSD care costs ($639 million). MSD-related imaging costs were $169 million. Including these costs yields a total estimate of $1.8 billion for all MSDs combined. CONCLUSION MSDs place a significant and costly burden on the health care system. Health system planning needs to consider the large and escalating demand for care to reduce both the individual and population burden.

Association of household solid fuel use and long-term exposure to PM 2.5 with arthritis in middle-aged and older population in China: A cohort study. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2022; 230:113104. [PMID: 34953276 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.113104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2021] [Revised: 12/02/2021] [Accepted: 12/15/2021] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
Air pollutants are common modifiable risk factors for arthritis. To explore the longitudinal effects of air pollution on arthritis based on a cohort study in middle-aged and elder people of China. Data was obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) from 2011 to 2018. A total of 7449 participants aged 45 years and older were involved in our study. The generalized linear mixed models were conducted to examine the separate and joint effects of household air pollution and outdoor air pollution on arthritis, respectively. We found a strong significant association between air pollution and arthritis incidence. Individuals cooking primarily with solid fuel were more likely in higher risk of arthritis compared with cleaner fuel (OR= 1.15; 95% CI: 1.08-1.23). The group-based trajectory model identified four trajectory groups, compared with group "High-Decreasing rapidly", adjusted ORs of incident arthritis for group "Middle-Decreasing moderately", "Low-Decreasing slowly" and "Low-Stably" were 1.36 (95% CI, 1.03-1.79), 1.36 (95% CI, 1.01-1.83) and 1.81 (95% CI, 1.30-2.52), respectively. These associations were generally higher in participants younger than 65 years. In addition, solid fuel use and PM2.5 exposure had additive and multiplicative effects on arthritis. The results suggested that solid fuel use and long-term PM2.5 exposure were associated with a higher incidence of arthritis. Therefore, it is necessary to restrict solid fuel use to reduce household air pollution and make stronger environmental protection policies to reduce PM2.5 concentration.

Total knee replacement after high tibial osteotomy: time-to-event analysis and predictors. CMAJ 2021; 193:E158-E166. [PMID: 33526542 PMCID: PMC7954572 DOI: 10.1503/cmaj.200934] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 11/10/2020] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND An important aim of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is to prevent or delay the need for total knee replacement (TKR). We sought to estimate the frequency and timing of conversion from HTO to TKR and the factors associated with it. METHODS We prospectively evaluated patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee who underwent medial opening wedge HTO from 2002 to 2014 and analyzed the cumulative incidence of TKR in July 2019. The presence or absence of TKR on the HTO limb was identified from the orthopedic surgery reports and knee radiographs contained in the electronic medical records for each patient at London Health Sciences Centre. We used cumulative incidence curves to evaluate the primary outcome of time to TKR. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards analysis to assess potential preoperative predictors including radiographic disease severity, malalignment, correction size, pain, sex, age, body mass index (BMI) and year of surgery. RESULTS Among 556 patients who underwent 643 HTO procedures, the cumulative incidence of TKR was 5% (95% confidence interval [CI] 3%-7%) at 5 years and 21% (95% CI 17%-26%) at 10 years. With the Cox proportional hazards multivariable model, the following preoperative factors were significantly associated with an increased rate of conversion: radiographic OA severity (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.96, 95% CI 1.12-3.45), pain (adjusted HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.75-0.96)], female sex (adjusted HR 1.67, 95% CI 1.08-2.58), age (adjusted HR 1.50 per 10 yr, 95% CI 1.17-1.93) and BMI (adjusted HR 1.31 per 5 kng/m2, 95% CI 1.12-1.53). INTERPRETATION We found that 79% of knees did not undergo TKR within 10 years after undergoing medial opening wedge HTO. The strongest predictor of conversion to TKR is greater radiographic disease at the time of HTO.

Abstract
Depression is a common disorder in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). There are a variety of studies estimated the prevalence of depression in these patients. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of depression in patients with ICD. METHODS In the present study, we conducted a systematic review of studies published in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), Medline, and EMBASE without any time filtration to obtain studies investigated the prevalence of depression in patients with ICD. Search terms consisted of "Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator(s)" in combination with "depression," "depressive," "prevalence," "implanted cardioverter," "implantable," and "implantable defibrillator." RESULTS We identified 15 relevant studies, comprising data from 10,182 patients with ICD from whom 2400 (23.58%) (95% CI, 15.36-31.79) had depression. The results of the subgroup analysis showed that the prevalence of depression among middle-aged patients (28.58% with confidence interval of 95%, 21.51-35.65) was higher than elderly patients (22.23% with confidence interval of 95%, 11.21-33.24) and it was not significantly correlated with the mean age of samples (P = 0.255), sample size (P = 0.686), and the publication date (P = 0.784), although there was a significant correlation between the prevalence of depression and the quality of articles so that the prevalence was decreasing with an increase in the quality (P = 0.046). CONCLUSION Around 1 in 4 patients with ICD (23.58%) experiences depression progression after an ICD placement. This prevalence is comparable to that in the general population, and close to that of the patients with common chronic diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide updated arthritis estimates for Canada given a change in wording in the 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) arthritis question. METHODS Prevalence data from the 2000 to 2016 CCHS were used to document trends in the prevalence of arthritis over time. Projections of arthritis prevalence were also calculated using data from CCHS 2015 in conjunction with Statistics Canada's published population projections. Data for 2015 were also used to provide summary data on the effect of arthritis. RESULTS Between 2000 and 2014 there were some fluctuations in the prevalence of arthritis (age ≥ 15 yrs), with the range of prevalence varying between 15.4% and 17.6%. There was a significant increase in overall prevalence to over 20% with the 2015 and 2016 surveys (6 million Canadians), coinciding with a revised wording of the arthritis question. This increase was observed in all age and sex groups, except for men aged 85+. The overall characteristics of the 2015 arthritis population were similar to those in 2007/08. Using the updated 2015 CCHS arthritis data, projection estimates suggest the population prevalence of arthritis will increase to just over 24% by 2040, with the number of Canadians living with arthritis projected to increase by about 50% from 2015 to 2040. CONCLUSION The revised question likely increased ascertainment of arthritis owing to inclusion of examples of arthritis diagnoses in the CCHS question and more explicit wording in the French version, resulting in a large increase in the estimated prevalence and numbers of people with arthritis in Canada.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between multiple chronic diseases and depressive symptoms in middle-aged and elderly populations. Methods This study was performed using the 2009 Korean Community Health Survey, which targeted adults over the age of 40 (N = 156,747 participants, 88,749 aged 40–59 years and 67,998 aged ≥60 years). The Korean version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D-K) was used as the measurement tool for depressive symptoms (CES-D-K score over 16). Multiple chronic diseases were defined as the concurrent presence of two or more chronic diseases. Results The prevalence and risk ratios (RRs) of experiencing depressive symptoms increased in the presence of multiple chronic diseases and with the number of comorbidities. The RRs of experiencing depressive symptoms according to the presence of multiple chronic diseases were higher in the middle-aged population (adjusted RR, 1.939, 95% confidence limits (CL), 1.82-2.06) than in the elderly population (adjusted RR, 1.620, 95% CL, 1.55-1.69). In particular, middle-aged women who suffer from 4 or more chronic diseases have the highest RR (adjusted RR, 4.985, 95% CL, 4.13-6.03) for depressive symptoms. Conclusions Multiple chronic diseases are closely associated with depressive symptoms in middle-aged and elderly populations. Given the mutual relationship between multiple chronic diseases and depressive symptoms, attention to and the assessment of depressive symptoms are needed in people with multiple chronic diseases.
