Changing the osteoarthritis narrative in Aotearoa New Zealand

Journal of Primary Health Care (O'Brien D, Holt E, McLeod D, Molyneux P, Meiring R, Tombs K)

Supersedes the corpus-era figure of one in eight, which the audit retired as a stale 2021-vintage secondary claim.

Summary

The article states that osteoarthritis is a common long-term condition in Aotearoa New Zealand, affecting about one in ten adults. Current Health New Zealand language gives roughly one in eleven, so the honest presentation is a range of about one in eleven to one in ten rather than a point estimate. Only the upper bound is attached to a URL in this pass.
