Abstract

Osteoarthritis of the knee (KOA) is a condition with an increased prevalence of morbidity. The proportion of senior citizens has increased, and this population will continue to grow. Several studies investigated the impact of KOA patient prevention and treatment on their health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Young-old patients with KOA may have a lower quality of life (QOL). In recent decades, the clinical treatment of KOA has diversified, and Western medicine has achieved rapid results, especially in surgical treatment. However, there is still controversy over the long-term efficacy after surgery, with some surgeries being complex. Traditional Chinese medicine appears to have a unique and beneficial effect on the HRQOL improvement of elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis. However, the majority of prior studies did not compare the effects of Western therapy and traditional Chinese medicine on the HRQOL of KOA patients. Interventions to improve the HRQOL of young-old patients with KOA are currently unknown. This study evaluated HRQOL of young-old (60-74 years) patients with KOA. While there are some effective KOA prevention and treatment options. The research was hampered by an absence of solid evidence from randomised controlled trials and a paucity of studies examining the influence of KOA on the QOL of the young-old. Despite these limitations, it is anticipated that this study will provide a theoretical reference for enhancing the QOL and friendliness of elderly patients with KOA.
