Does the impact of osteoarthritis vary by age, gender and social deprivation?
The impact of osteoarthritis appears to vary with respect to gender and social deprivation but not age. This suggests both that osteoarthritis per se does not adequately explain the health outcomes observed and that different clinical approaches may be appropriate for people of different gender and levels of deprivation. Implications of Rehabilitation The ICF model appears to vary with respect to gender and social deprivation for people with osteoarthritis. The ICF model did not appear to vary with respect to age for people with osteoarthritis. Different treatments and interventions for osteoarthritis may need to be targeted for specific gender and social deprivation groups.
