Generalised joint hypermobility and knee joint hypermobility: prevalence, knee joint symptoms and health‐related quality of life in a Danish adult population

Abstract

GJHk and KJH were frequently reported in the Danish adult population, mostly in women. Respondents with GJHk and KJH were two times more likely to report knee joint-related symptoms such as pain, reduced performance of usual activity and lower HRQoL. The impact of these conditions on HRQoL is comparable with knee osteoarthritis.
