- Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent form of arthritis, causing joint cartilage loss and affecting mainly obese women, especially in the Aseer region of Saudi Arabia, where awareness levels are inconsistent and no prior studies focused on this demographic.
- A cross-sectional study involving 278 educated females used questionnaires to assess knowledge of OA and its risk factors, revealing that while some participants understood OA symptoms, many expressed uncertainty, particularly regarding joint stiffness.
- The study highlighted misconceptions about OA causes, especially among those with overweight status, indicating a need for improved education and awareness regarding OA in obese women.
