Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common cause of arthritis, was estimated to cost $3.75 billion AUD in 2012. It has no cure or effective treatment and its cost is escalating with the obesity epidemic. Education, weight management and exercise reduce pain and slow the disease process, especially used early in disease. TreatOA4life will provide this treatment in a simple easy to access form in primary care, designed to improve OA outcomes in a self-sustaining fashion from initial diagnosis.

骨关节炎(OA)是导致关节炎的最常见原因，据估计，2012年的成本为37.5亿澳元。它没有治愈或有效的治疗方法，而且随着肥胖症的流行，它的成本正在上升。教育、体重管理和锻炼可以减轻疼痛，减缓疾病进程，尤其是在疾病的早期使用。TreatOA4life将在初级保健中以一种简单易用的形式提供这种治疗，旨在从最初的诊断开始以一种自我维持的方式改善OA结果。
