Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common and often disabling condition affecting older adults. Treatment using anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) often contributes to morbidity ( 1 ). It is a common reason for people seeking help from primary care ( 2 ). However, unfortunately management approaches often reflect the ageist view that OA is an inevitable consequence of ageing.Keywords
