TLDR
This review highlights recent studies of osteoarthritis epidemiology, including research on prevalence, disease impact, and potential risk factors, which may allow us to develop innovative strategies and novel therapies for preventing new disease onset and minimizing disease progression.

Global, regional prevalence, incidence and risk factors of knee osteoarthritis in population-based studies

TL;DR: The global prevalence and incidence of knee OA varied substantially between individual countries and increased with age, and these findings can be used to better assess the global health burden of knees OA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exosomes: roles and therapeutic potential in osteoarthritis

TL;DR: The roles and therapeutic potential of exosomes in OA are summarized and the perspectives and challenges related to exosome-based treatment for OA patients in the future are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

LDHA-mediated ROS generation in chondrocytes is a potential therapeutic target for osteoarthritis

TL;DR: It is shown that inflammatory NF-κB signalling drives a glycolytic shift in chondrocytes and the production of ROS, which drives cartilage catabolism, which identifies LDHA as a potential therapeutic target for OA treatment.

Epidemiology of Osteoarthritis

TL;DR: Modifying factors that play roles in the development of joint OA may reduce the risk of OA and prevent subsequent pain and disability, particularly in the weight-bearing joints.

The epidemiology of osteoarthritis

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to illustrate how each of these factors interact together to instigate incident OA as well as to outline the need for ongoing epidemiologic studies for the future prevention of both incident and progressive OA.

Epidemiology of OA

TL;DR: Risk factors for OA include a number of person-level factors, such as age, sex, obesity, and genetics, as well as joint-specific factors that are likely reflective of abnormal loading of the joints.

Number of Persons With Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis in the US: Impact of Race and Ethnicity, Age, Sex, and Obesity.

TL;DR: The prevalence of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis has been increasing over the past several decades in the US, concurrent with an aging population and the growing obesity epidemic and the impact of these factors on the number of persons with symptomatic knees OA in the early decades of the 21st century is quantified.
