Abstract
Objectives
To examine the association of baseline multiple long-term chronic conditions (MLTCs) with physical and mental health-related quality of life (HRQOL) over time among older adults with or at risk of knee osteoarthritis.
Design
This study is a prospective longitudinal cohort design over 96 months of follow-up.
Setting
This study used multisite data from the Osteoarthritis Initiatives.
Participants
For the current study, only older adults from the Osteoarthritis Initiative were selected who were 60 years and older at baseline. Based on Charlson comorbidity index, all participants were classified into 3 groups: no chronic condition (n=1828), one chronic condition (n=417), and MLTCs (having ≥2 chronic conditions) (n=315).
Interventions
Not applicable.
Main Outcome Measures
Physical and mental component summaries for HRQOL were assessed over 96 months of follow-up using the 12-item Short Form Health Survey.
Results
A total of 2560 older adults were included with 12.2% prevalence of MLTC. The results showed that participants with 1 chronic disease (beta [B]=−2.42, P<.001) and MLTCs (B=−3.58, P<.001) were associated with significantly declined physical component summary for HRQOL over time after adjustments for age, sex, race, educational level, body mass index, depressive symptoms, physical activity, KL for the right knee, and KL for the left knee. Mental component summary for HRQOL was not significantly associated with MLTC.
Conclusions
Older adults with or at risk of knee osteoarthritis who had baseline one chronic disease and MLTCs had significantly overtime declined physical HRQOL. Future work is needed to investigate the potential treatment strategies to improve physical HRQOL in this population.
