Abstract Objective: This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of symptomatic knee, hand and hip osteoarthritis among men and women at or over 40 years of age, living in the Bayraklı Adalet district of İzmir. \r\nMethods: The study included a sample size of 522 people calculated using the Epi Info™ software. Demographic information, weight, height and body mass index were recorded. Patients were physically examined for evidence of osteoarthritis, such as joint tenderness, range of motion deficiency, deformity, 1st carpometacarpal joint involvement and Heberden’s and/or Bouchard’s nodes. One hundred and ninety-one individuals were suspected of having knee/hand/hip osteoarthritis and 152 of these were called in for radiographs. \r\nResults: The prevalence of symptomatic knee, hand and hip osteoarthritis of adults aged ?40 years was 20.9%, 2.8% and 1.0%, respectively. Symptomatic knee and hand osteoarthritis was significantly higher among women (p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between two genders regarding symptomatic hip osteoarthritis. \r\nConclusion: Knee osteoarthritis is frequent in the region in which the study was conducted. An effective health policy regarding osteoarthritis can be created following further studies with larger samples representing the entire country Özet Amaç: Bu kesitsel çalışma, İzmir ili, Bayraklı Adalet Mahallesi’nde yaşayan 40 yaş ve üzeri erkek ve kadınlarda semptomatik diz, el ve kalça osteoartrit prevalansının saptanması amacıyla planlandı. \r\nÇalışma planı: Örneklem büyüklüğü, Epi Info™ programıyla 522 olarak hesaplandı. Bireylerin demografik, yaş, kilo ve beden kitle indeksi bilgileri kaydedildikten sonra fizik muayenede eklem hassasiyeti, eklem hareket açıklığı kaybı, deformite varlığı, Heberden ve/veya Bouchard nodülleri, 1. karpometakarpal eklem tutulumu değerlendirilerek osteoartrit bulgusuna bakıldı. Boy ve ağırlıkları ölçülüp beden kitle indeksi hesaplandı. Değerlendirme sonunda diz/el/kalça osteoartritinden şüphe edilen toplam 191 bireyin 152’sinin grafileri çekildi. \r\nBulgular: Yaşı kırk ve üzeri olan bireylerin semptomatik diz, el ve kalça osteoartrit prevalansları, sırasıyla, %20.9, %2.8 ve %1.0 olarak hesaplandı. Semptomatik diz ve el osteoartriti açısından kadınlarda oranların daha fazla olduğu (p<0.05), kalça osteoartriti açısından ise cinsiyetler arasında anlamlı fark olmadığı görüldü. \r\nÇıkarımlar: Sonuç olarak, çalışmamızda diz osteoartritinin taranan bölgede yaygın olduğu saptandı. Türkiye’de tüm bölgeleri temsil edecek biçimde yüksek örneklem sayısına sahip başka çalışmalar yapılarak, osteoartrit ile ilgili etkin bir sağlık politikası oluşturmak mümkün olacaktır.
