Title: Abstracts: ARP Interprofessional I: Epidemiology & Methods

Session Type: Abstract Session

Session Time: 1:00PM-2:30PM

Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, progressive condition affecting the musculoskeletal system, significantly impacting the quality of life and mobility of millions worldwide. It is notably prevalent among adults, particularly those over 65. OA is influenced by factors such as obesity, sedentary lifestyles, age, sex, sleep quality, and socioeconomic status. Understanding these risk factors, especially socioeconomic influences, is crucial for designing targeted interventions. Despite progress in identifying OA risk factors, gaps remain in understanding how socioeconomic status affects OA prevalence and outcomes. This study examined the relationship between OA prevalence and its risk factors across different socioeconomic status (SES) groups.

Methods: We addressed three research questions: the difference in OA prevalence between low and high SES groups, significant risk factors affecting OA prevalence in low SES groups, and significant risk factors in high SES groups. Using a retrospective cross-sectional design, we analyzed data from the 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment conducted by the New York Orthopedic Academic Medical Center. The sample comprised 5760 participants >18 years from New York State. SES was categorized based on income, education, and residence in Medically Underserved Areas (MUAs). Self-reported OA diagnosis was the dependent variable, with SES status and risk factors such as physical activity, physical and mental health, sleep quality, and demographics as independent variables. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, chi-squared tests, and logistic regression, with significance set at p< 0.001.

Results: Significant differences in OA prevalence were found between low and high SES groups (p≤0.001), with higher prevalence in high SES individuals (38.6%) compared to low SES individuals (24.6%). In the low SES group, Hispanics had significantly lower odds of OA compared to non-Hispanics (OR: 0.32, p< 0.001), and non-Whites had lower odds compared to Whites (p< 0.001). Those reporting less than two weeks of poor physical health (OR: 0.66, p=0.003) and those with fair sleep quality (OR: 0.79, p=0.039) had reduced odds of OA. In the high SES group, Hispanics had significantly lower odds of OA compared to non-Hispanics (OR: 0.32, p< 0.001), and Black/African Americans (OR: 0.39) and Asians (OR: 0.25) also had lower odds compared to Whites. Engaging in vigorous physical activity less than three times per week was associated with higher odds of OA (OR: 1.53, p< 0.001).

Conclusion: This study highlights significant disparities in OA prevalence between SES groups and underscores the multifaceted impact of socioeconomic, demographic, and lifestyle factors on OA. High SES individuals, despite better overall health metrics, showed higher OA prevalence, potentially due to lifestyle factors and healthcare access patterns. These findings emphasize the need for comprehensive public health strategies addressing SES-specific risk factors and promoting equitable healthcare access to reduce OA burden and improve outcomes across all socioeconomic groups.

All abstracts accepted to ACR Convergence are under media embargo once the ACR has notified presenters of their abstract’s acceptance. They may be presented at other meetings or published as manuscripts after this time but should not be discussed in non-scholarly venues or outlets. The following embargo policies are strictly enforced by the ACR.

Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in advance of the meeting and are published in a special online supplement of our scientific journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology. Information contained in those abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online. In an exception to the media embargo, academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an ACR abstract on the ACR website. However, the ACR continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained in the abstract (e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of editorial news coverage) is under media embargo until 10:00 AM ET on November 14, 2024. Journalists with access to embargoed information cannot release articles or editorial news coverage before this time. Editorial news coverage is considered original articles/videos developed by employed journalists to report facts, commentary, and subject matter expert quotes in a narrative form using a variety of sources (e.g., research, announcements, press releases, events, etc.).

Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Authors are responsible for notifying colleagues, institutions, communications firms, and all other stakeholders related to the development or promotion of the abstract about this policy. If you have questions about the ACR abstract embargo policy, please contact ACR abstracts staff at [email protected].
