Implication

Analysis reveals increasing hand osteoarthritis burdens and trends across age and sex, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.

Key Points

  • Hand osteoarthritis incidence reached 10.37 million cases globally in 2021, indicating a troubling trend.
  • The incidence of hand osteoarthritis increased by 142% from 1990 to 2021, with high prevalence in low/middle-income regions.
  • Using the age-period-cohort model, future projections suggest continued rises in both male (69.6%) and female (51.6%) incidence rates.
  • The challenges of hand osteoarthritis underscore the need for better healthcare strategies in high-burden regions and aging populations.
