The disease most commonly involves the knee joints, hip joints, the metacarpophalangeal joints of palms and inter vertebral joints. Aim. The aim of the research is to assess the level of acceptability of the disease by patients with osteoarthritis, and to determine the impact of factors that precondition the respective acceptability level of the disease.
