Multivariable regression analysis was performed to assess the association of sociodemographic factors, health variables and arthritis.Results: Overall 24.7% had self-reported diagnosed arthritis, 28.4% symptom-based arthritis; and of those who had self-reported diagnosed arthritis 77.3% were undergoing routine ongoing therapy in the past 12 months and 67.6% were under current therapy (in past 2 weeks) forarthritis.

Abstract

Introduction: Arthritis is one of the more prevalent chronic conditions and a leading causeof disability in the elderly. The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence and to identifythe factors associated with arthritis in a national probability sample of older South Africans whoparticipated in the Study of Global Ageing and Adults Health (SAGE) in 2008.Materials and Method: We conducted a national population-based cross-sectional studywith a sample of 3840 aged 50 years or older in South Africa in 2008. The questionnaire included socio-demographic characteristics, health variables, anthropometric and blood pressure measurements. Multivariable regression analysis was performed to assess the association of sociodemographic factors, health variables and arthritis.Results: Overall 24.7% had self-reported diagnosed arthritis, 28.4% symptom-based arthritis; and of those who had self-reported diagnosed arthritis 77.3% were undergoing routine ongoing therapy in the past 12 months and 67.6% were under current therapy (in past 2 weeks) forarthritis. In multivariable analysis female gender, Coloured, Indian or Asian population group,other illness or chronic conditions (Stroke, Depression, Sleeping problem, Diabetes and Obesity),poorer subjective health status, greater activity limitations and low quality of life were associated with self-reported arthritis.Conclusion: Considering the paucity of similar studies addressing the impact of arthritis inAfrica, these findings may be applied to similar communities and support better planning ofresource allocations to minimize the effects of arthritis among the elderly

Özet

Giriş: Artrit yaşlılarda yaygın bir kronik durumdur ve engelliliğin başlıca nedenlerinden biridir.Bu çalışmanın amacı, 2008 yılında Küresel Yaşlanma ve Erişkin Sağlığı Çalışmasına (SAGE, Studyof Global Ageing and Adults Health) katılan Güney Afrikalı yaşlı bireyleri içeren bir ulusal olasılıkörnekleminde artritin prevalansını değerlendirmek ve ilişkili faktörleri belirlemektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Güney Afrikada 2008 yılında 50 yaş ve üzeri 3840 kişiden oluşan bir örneklemde ulusal toplum temelli, çapraz kesitsel bir çalışma yaptık. Araştırmada, sosyodemografiközellikler, sağlık değişkenleri, antropometrik ölçümler ve kan basıncı ölçümleri incelendi. Sosyodemografik faktörler, sağlık değişkenleri ve artrit arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmek için çok değişkenli regresyon analizi yapıldı. Bulgular: Toplamda hastaların %24.7sinde hasta tarafından bildirilen tanı konulmuş artrit,%28.4'ünde semptomlara dayalı artrit vardı. Hasta tarafından bildirilen tanı konulmuş artriti olangrubun %77.3'ü önceki 12 ayda artrit için rutin tedavi görüyordu, %67.6'sı halen artrit tedavisi(son 2 haftada) görüyordu. Çok değişkenli analize göre kadın cinsiyet, Siyah, Hintli ve Asyalı popülasyon grubu, diğer hastalıklar veya kronik durumlar (İnme, depresyon, uyku problemi, diyabetve obezite), subjektif sağlık durumunun daha kötü olması, daha fazla aktivite kısıtlaması bulunması ve yaşam kalitesinin düşüklüğü hasta tarafından bildirilen artrit ile ilişkiliydi.Sonuç: Artritin Afrika'daki etkisini ele alan benzer çalışmaların azlığı düşünüldüğünde, bubulgular benzer toplumlar için geçerli kabul edilebilir ve yaşlılarda artritin etkilerini en aza indirmek için kaynak dağıtımının daha iyi planlanmasına yardımcı olabilir
