The most prevalent health hazards in the world’s population is chronic diseases of musculoskeletal system. The most serious public health issue is knee osteoarthritis, which is caused by aging. It is described as a degenerative joint disease that develops through wear and strain, leading to a continuous decline in articular cartilage, functional limitations, impairment, and eventually a reduction in a person’s standard of lifestyle. Around ten percent of people older than 60 frequently are unhappy of this medical condition. While 37 percent of Americans aged 60 or older have osteoarthritis of the knee that has been identified. The rate of knee joint osteoarthritis is predicted to increase near forty percent by 2025 as a result of the growing of the worldwide population. Gender, age, trauma, excessive use, hereditary disorders, and other variables all contribute to the issue getting worsened. In terms of functional ability, discomfort, and functional constraint, the study found that participants with knee osteoarthritis had a poor standard of life. Additionally, a direct correlation within low quality of life and academic level was discovered. It has been shown that persons with low levels of schooling participate in more physical activities and have greater effects is related to this. Disability results from the illness’s worsening effects on life expectancy.
