Abstract


Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease commonly observed among middle-aged and older adults. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of patients with knee osteoarthritis at Bhayangkara Hospital Makassar in 2025 based on demographic characteristics, body mass index (BMI), radiographic classification, diagnosis location, and treatment. This study used a retrospective descriptive observational design based on medical records with a cross-sectional approach. Data were obtained from the medical records of 60 patients who met the study criteria and were analyzed using univariate analysis with frequency and percentage distributions. The results showed that patients aged 45–59 years constituted the largest age group (50.0%), while female patients accounted for 63.3%. Housewives represented the largest occupational group (41.7%). Regarding BMI, 45.0% of patients were classified as overweight and 23.3% as obese, resulting in 68.3% being classified as overweight or obese overall. Based on the Kellgren–Lawrence classification, Grade 2 was the most frequently observed radiographic grade (48.3%), while bilateral knee OA was the most common diagnosis location (76.7%). All patients were documented as receiving pharmacological treatment (100%), and no patients were documented as undergoing surgical treatment. In conclusion, patients with knee OA were predominantly women aged 45–59 years, housewives, patients classified as overweight or obese, patients with Grade 2 OA, bilateral involvement, and pharmacological treatment.
