Prevalence, Risk, Osteoarthritis, Elderly PeopleAbstract
The purpose of this analytic cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with risk osteoarthritis among elderly people in Pa Phayom district, Phatthalung Province. Sample was 1,692 elderly people aged 60 and greater. They were registered in tambon health promoting hospitals, and resided in Pa Phayom district, Phatthalung Province, between March and April, 2018. The two of four districts of Lan Khoi and Ban Phrao were randomly selected. Data were collected by using questionnares on 1) demographic data, 2) self health care, and 3) risk osteoarthritis screening test. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze factors associated with risk osteoarthritis.
Results revealed that the prevalence of risk for osteoarthritis was 57.33 percent. It showed that sex, body mass index, education, and underlying disease were statistically significant associated with risk osteoarthritis among elderly people. Those elderly people who were female were more likely (1.44 times) to have risk osteoarthritis (ORadj = 1.44, 95%CI; 1.17-1.77). Elderly people who had body mass index classified as overweight and obesity were 1.52 and 1.58 times more likely to have risk of osteoarthritis (ORadj = 1.52, 95%CI: 1.14-2.02; ORadj = 1.58, 95%CI: 1.22-2.05), respectively. Elderly people who graduated in primary school were 1.39 times more likely to have risk of osteoarthritis (ORadj = 1.39, 95%CI: 1.11-1.73). In addition, elderly people who had underlying disease were 1.87 times more likely to have risk of osteoarthritis (ORadj = 1.87, 95%CI: 1.52-2.29).
Result suggested health professionals should promote and establish exercise activities to reduce body mass index. Particularly, the elderly people who are female with overweight should be more sensibilized, in order to prevent further risk osteoarthritis.
