Prevalence of diagnosed and undiagnosed osteoarthrosis and associated factors in the adult general Spanish population

CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of DO and UO was similar to that reported in Europe, but slightly higher than in low/middle-income countries. It was more prevalent in females, older people, people with worse perceived health status and worse mental health. Higher pain levels and pain drug consumption were risk factors for DO and UO. Better self-perceived health status was protective. Pain involvement in daily living was a risk factor for DO, but protective for UO. Different public health strategies should be considered in view of this.PMID:38608330 | DOI:10.1016/j.aprim.2024.102930
