Arthritis Care & Research Jun 21, 2019

Barbour KE, et al. - Considering the documented risk of falls among adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA), researchers examined associations between knee OA status and the risk of injurious falls in a sample of 734 participants (mean ± SD age of 74.7 ± 2.9 years) from the Health Aging and Body Composition Knee Osteoarthritis Substudy—a community-based study of white and black older adults.
