COVID-19 and Osteoarthritis Disability: Possible Impact on Premature Mortality, and Excess Morbidity and Preventive Strategies

Ray Marks

Older adults who already have chronically painful disabling osteoarthritis of one or more joints, which is the most common musculoskeletal disease affecting the older people. may also be more susceptible than healthy age and gender matched adults to infections such as COVID-19 as a result of their debilitated state and oftentimes comorbid health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and asthma. This piece discusses this topic and offers some directives focused on disability and fatality prevention among osteoarthritis sufferers and other older adults and younger at risk adults.
