Results: Mean age of the participants was 64.15±8.84 years, 90.6% of them were female andthe mean BMI was 31.69±4.54. It is found that the patients older than 65 years, female, single,having lover education, having bilateral OA diagnosis, having BMI ?30.00kg/m2, having highergrade OA are to have statistically significantly lower scores in some subscales of life quality(p?0.05). Presence of chronic disease and state of working were not found to make anysignificant difference in life quality (p gt;0.05). In our study it is found that age, gender, maritalstatus, education level, radiological grade, BMI and bilateralism of OA affect life quality ofpatients.
