Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the effects of weight change and physical activity on the level of knee pain and health-related quality of life in East Asian women with knee osteoarthritis using population-based data. Methods A total of 564 women (mean age, 68.2 years, standard deviation, 8.9 years) aged 50 years or older with knee osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥2) were included in the data analyses from the fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Data regarding the radiographic grade, weight change during the past year, physical activity, level of knee pain, and health-related quality of life (EuroQOL five-dimension [EQ-5D] index) were collected. Multiple regression analysis was performed to identify factors significantly affecting the level of knee pain and health-related quality of life in subgroups according to the body mass index (BMI) range (≤22.5, between 22.6 and 27.5, and >27.5 kg/m2). Result In women with 22.5 kg/m227.5 kg/m2, weekly hours of moderate-intensity activity showed significant negative correlation with EQ-5D. Conclusions The effects of weight change and physical activity on knee pain and health-related quality of life could be different according to BMI ranges. Well-designed interventions to improve both knee pain and health-related quality of life need to be investigated in future studies that would assess physical activity, diet, and weight changes.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to examine the association of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) and multimorbidity (MM) and its correlates over time in New Zealand.Methods People aged 55 years and over were invited to participate in a nationally representative population-based longitudinal study in 2006 and followed up biennially until 2016. GEE models, adjusted for both time-constant and time-varying factors used baseline and five subsequent waves of data, to compare a range of factors related to changes in MM and HRQOL.Results At baseline, 957 of the participants were classified as “MM participants”; 570 had two, and the rest had three chronic conditions. The results of the GEE modelling demonstrated that SF12-PCS decreased over time and there was a significant difference in SF12-PCS between MM and Non-MM participants. Having MM was negatively associated with HRQOL-PCS [-3.00 (95%CI -3.60, -2.49); p <0.001)]. Although the results showed an increase in SF12-MCS over time, the score of the mental dimension of HRQOL was lower among MM participants compared to Non-MM participants [-2.60, 95%CI -3.09, -2.11].Conclusions According to this longitudinal study, there is an inverse association between MM and one of the most important health outcomes; HRQOL, in older adults.

bjectives: This study aimed to investigate the association of self-reported weight change and physical activity with the level of knee pain and health-related quality of life in East Asian women with knee osteoarthritis using population-based data.Methods: A total of 564 women (mean age, 68.2 years, standard deviation, 8.9 years) aged 50 years or older with knee osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade ≥ 2) were included in the data analyses from the fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Data regarding the radiographic grade, self-reported weight change during the past year, physical activity, level of knee pain, and health-related quality of life (EuroQOL five- dimension (EQ-5D) index) were collected. Multiple regression analysis was performed to identify factors significantly associated with the level of knee pain and health-related quality of life in subgroups according to the body mass index (BMI) range (≤ 22.5, between 22.6 and 27.5, and > 27.5 kg/m <sup>2</sup> ).Results: In the whole group, the level of knee pain was significantly associated with K-L grade (P < 0.001), and EQ-5D was negatively associated with age (P < 0.001), the level of knee pain (P < 0.001), and weekly hours of vigorous-intensity activity (P = 0.026). In the subgroup analysis, weight gain showed significant association with the level of knee pain only in women with 22.5 kg/m<sup>2</sup> < BMI ≤ 27.5 kg/m<sup>2</sup> (P = 0.006). Weight gain showed significant association with EQ-5D in women with BMI ≤ 22.5 kg/m<sup>2</sup>(P = 0.047) whereas weekly hours of moderate-intensity activity was negatively associated with EQ-5D in women with BMI > 27.5 kg/m<sup>2</sup> .Conclusions: The association of weight change and physical activity with knee pain and health-related quality of life might be different according to BMI ranges. Well-designed interventions to improve both knee pain and health-related quality of life need to be investigated in future studies that would strictly control physical activity, diet, and weight changes.
