Summary

This is a cross-sectional study carried out on 180 Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients who were consecutively recruited from the Rheumatology Outpatient Clinic at National Research Center (NRC), Egypt. A face-to-face interview was carried out to collect data about demographic data, medical history, and Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP). Assessment of symptoms, disease severity, and physical disability was carried out using Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC). Quality of life was also assessed using Osteoarthritis Knee and Hip Quality of Life (OAKHQOL) questionnaire. The studied participants were subjected to clinical examination and anthropometric measurements and a blood sample was collected from them to measure inflammatory biomarkers Interleukin-6 (IL-6). Then a health education and physical exercise were done. An Educational Booklet was designed and distributed to the studied patients. WOMAC, OAKHQOL, and KAP questionnaires were used to assess the effect of health education and lifestyle modification on the participants.
