Brief summary
The aim of the project is to assemble and to follow on a 10-year period a nationwide representative sample of lower limb OA patients. General objectives: To document the natural history and to identify predictive factors of the evolution and consequences of hip and knee OA in terms of pain, functional disability, structural damage, quality of life, autonomy, medical and health care use and cost of disease.
Interventions
X-rays (hip and knee) every 2 years
biological sample (blood and urine) every 2 years
several questionnaires about pain and function (WOMAC), physical activity (MAQ), quality of life (generic SF-36 and OA specific OAKHQOL/AMIQUAL), comorbidities (FCI), mental status (MMS), heath status (GHQ 28) and health resource consumption
