Cross-sectional and temporal differences in health-related quality of life of people with and without osteoarthritis: a 10-year prospective study.

Interventions to improve HRQoL should be tailored to specific OA types, health dimensions, and times. Support for maintaining psychological wellness should be provided, irrespective of OA type and duration. However, support for maintaining independent living could be more relevant to knee and/or hip OA patients living with the disease for longer.
