Abstract
ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis is most common type of degenerative disease affecting thousands of Indian citizens. It is the second most common form of disability and although it affects men and women, women are more likely to be symptomatic. Osteoarthritis is projected to rank second for women and fourth for men in the developed countries in terms of years lived with disability. Elderly patients are most often affected and because the number of individuals over the age of 50 years is expected to double worldwide between 1990 and 2020, the global burden of osteoarthritis will increase dramatically in the near future. Key Words: Quality of Life, Osteoarthritis, Elderly, Worldwide
