Decline of Lung Function in Knee and Spine Osteoarthritis in the Korean Population: Cross-Sectional Analysis of Data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

Background: Evidence on the close association between osteoarthritis (OA) and lung diseases is supported by the shared pathogenesis of the two diseases. We assessed the association between knee and spine OA and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the Korean population. Methods: Using dat...

description Background: Evidence on the close association between osteoarthritis (OA) and lung diseases is supported by the shared pathogenesis of the two diseases. We assessed the association between knee and spine OA and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the Korean population. Methods: Using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2012, a total of 2006 subjects who underwent both plain radiography for assessment of knee and lumbar spine and spirometry analysis for lung function were analyzed. Radiographic severity grade for OA was assessed using the Kellgren–Lawrence (K-L) grading scale. COPD was defined as a ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV<sub>1</sub>) to forced vital capacity (FVC) less than 0.7. Results: Subjects with spine OA had higher prevalence of COPD than controls (<i>p</i> < 0.001), but not knee OA (<i>p</i> = 0.990). FVC (L), FEV<sub>1</sub> (L), and FVC/FEV1 (%) were significantly decreased in spine OA compared to in controls (<i>p</i> = 0.003, <i>p</i> < 0.001, and <i>p</i> < 0.001, respectively). FVC (L), FVC (%), FEV<sub>1</sub> (L), and FEV<sub>1</sub> (%) were significantly different between knee OA and controls. Univariate regression analysis showed that spine OA was significantly associated with COPD (OR 1.581, 95% CI 1.204–2.076, <i>p</i> = 0.001), but not knee OA. Multivariate analysis revealed that spine OA lost statistical significance for COPD. Conclusion: This study found that subjects with knee OA and spine OA had a decline of lung function compared to subjects without OA, although OA was not associated with COPD.
