dc.description.abstractOsteoarthritis (OA) is a musculoskeletal disorder characterized by progressive damage to articular cartilage, bone remodeling, and new bone formation (osteophytes). This condition often leads to inflammation of the synovial membrane and fibrosis of joint structures, eventually leading to joint stiffness, swelling, and loss of mobility. It is expected that the prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) will be higher in developing nations due to rising life expectancy and limited access to joint replacement therapy. The increasing incidence of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is an important issue around the world because they are the leading cause of disease, disability, and mortality. Multiple factors, including modifiable and non-modifiable factors, contribute to OA. Among the various forms of osteoarthritis, knee osteoarthritis has the highest prevalence
