The impact of socioeconomic status on the link between osteoarthritis and the onset of common comorbidities.

The moderation analyses indicated that mechanisms to comorbidity differ by socio-economic strata and a need for different approaches to prevent comorbidity for consulters with OA from different levels of deprivation.
