Welcome LetterDear Sponsor,

Six hundred million people will be affected by osteoarthritis worldwide in 2050! Every day, these people suffer from pain

at motion and are limited in their daily activities. Their joints are deformed, crack and move with difficulty.

Unfortunately, the number of affected people will continue to increase during the next decade because of several

factors like population growth, aging due to increased life expectancy, increased obesity prevalence and lack of

treatment able to stop the progression of the disease. Therefore, we can anticipate that in industrialized countries, the

social and economic burden of osteoarthritis will rise rapidly. For all these reasons, osteoarthritis is considered as a

public health problem and should be a research priority.

It is urgent to accelerate the development of new therapies with less adverse effect, with a better efficacy on symptoms

and with an action on the disease progression. Another urgent need is prevention! By reducing weight in overweight

patients, by changing eating habits, by preventing joint trauma, or by a better treatment of co-morbidities, it is possible

to prevent osteoarthritis incidence and progression. Osteoarthritic patients need to be listened, to be heard and to be

defended. It is for them, their relatives and health professionals that the Osteoarthritis Foundation organized the World

Osteoarthritis Day Intergenerational Events (WODIES), a unique event fully dedicated to osteoarthritis. This edition of

our event is located in Brussels, as it offers a convenient and pleasant setting for popular events.

We look forward to meeting you in September 14-15 2019 and we will make this event all the more memorable.

Professor Yves Henrotin, The Osteoarthritis FoundationPresident
