AnnotationParticipants were 429 men and women aged 65+ and experiencing knee pain, recruited from the US Observational Arthritis Study in Seniors (OASIS). At least once a week, problems were experienced with sleep onset by 31% of participants, sleep maintenance by 81%, and early morning awakenings by 51%. Sleep disturbance is common in older people experiencing knee pain or knee pain with radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis (OA), and is best understood by considering demographic, physical health, physical functioning, pain, and psychosocial variables. Interventions that take into account the multidetermined nature of sleep disturbance in knee pain or knee OA are most likely to be successful. (RH).
