Osteoarthritis is the result of several patterns of joint dysfunction and is characterized by degeneration of articular cartilage and simultaneous proliferation of bone tissue, cartilage and connective tissue. And it is often associated with significant restriction and reduced quality of life. In Brazil, it ranks third in the list of Social Security insured persons, with 65% of causes of disability. Given this context, the objective of this study is to analyze hospitalizations for osteoarthritis in people aged between 50 and 80 years or older in Brazil and its regions in the last 5 years. This is a descriptive, retrospective and analytical study about hospitalizations resulting from osteoarthritis, in people between 50 and 80 years of age or older, from 2017 to 2021, in Brazil and its macro-regions. In the analyzed period, 74,730 hospitalizations for osteoarthritis were recorded in people aged between 50 and 80 years or older in Brazil. Regarding geographic regions, the largest number of hospitalizations is concentrated in the Southeast region. Regarding the age group, patients aged 60 to 69 years were the most affected. As for the reported ethnicity of the hospitalized patients, the highest number of cases prevailed among those hospitalized of white ethnicity. This research demonstrates that osteoarthritis is a public health problem, being susceptible to early diagnosis and preventive care, and there should be actions such as health education, aiming to minimize unnecessary expenses and improve people's quality of life.
