Study on the Association Between Dietary Intake, KOOS Scores, Stress Scores and Sleep Quality in Individuals Diagnosed with Knee Osteoarthritis Aged 40-65 Years
Cross-sectional analysis found stress and sleep quality affect KOOS scores in adults with knee osteoarthritis, indicating holistic treatment approaches are vital.
Key Points
Higher perceived stress correlates with lower KOOS pain and quality of life scores.
Nutritional gaps existed, with 72% of participants having inadequate protein intake.
Poor sleep quality reported by 63% was linked to significantly lower KOOS ADL scores.
Aging adults with knee osteoarthritis may benefit from addressing both lifestyle and psychosocial factors.
