Neighborhood Disadvantage and Knee Osteoarthritis Pain: Do Sleep and Catastrophizing Play a Role?
Authors' conclusion
Neighborhood disadvantage impacts KOA pain outcomes through sleep efficiency but not pain catastrophizing
Study context
- Population
- Middle-aged to older non-Hispanic White and non-Hispanic Black adults with knee pain consistent with or at risk for knee OA (UPLOAD-2)
- Participants
- 140 participants
- Outcome
- Pain severity (WOMAC pain severity scale) and its pathways from neighborhood disadvantage (Area Deprivation Index) via sleep efficiency (actigraphy) and pain catastrophizing (CSQ-R catastrophizing subscale)
Methodological detailsserial mediation model, secondary analysis of UPLOAD-2
- Serial mediation model
- Secondary analysis of UPLOAD-2
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Pathways from neighborhood disadvantage to knee OA pain severity
- Greater neighborhood disadvantage associated with worse sleep efficiency, ultimately contributing to greater pain severity
- Neither neighborhood disadvantage nor sleep efficiency associated with pain catastrophizing
- Pain catastrophizing associated with greater knee OA pain
Observational data: associations, not effects.
