However, it is a painful pathology that directly affects the mobility and autonomy of the person who suffers from it, with the psychological wear and tear that this entails. Moreover, it is linked to other co-morbidity problems such as hypertension or cardiovascular diseases, among others, and is considered a serious illness. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The aim of the congress was to raise the profile of osteoarthritis, a disease that is often underestimated, to learn about the health demands of its patients and make them known to the public and health authorities, and to promote research and innovation in this disease.<\/p>\n<p>Patient associations from all over the world, from the Arthritis Foundation (USA), the PanAmerican League of Rheumatology Associations (PANL), the European League Against Rheumatic Diseases (EULAR), the Spanish Rheumatology League (LIRE), the Spanish Association of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis (AECOSAR) and the Arthrose Foundation (Belgium), participated on behalf of more than 150 million patients.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29802 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oafifoundation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/i-congreso-internacional-pacientes-artrosis-02.jpg\" alt=\"Mesa redonda sobre la percepci\u00f3n y la calidad de vida del paciente con Ann\u00a0 Palmer (Arthritis Foundation), Dieter Weik (PARE-EULAR), Josep Verg\u00e9s (OAFI), Maritza Quintero (PANLAR) y Benito Martos (LIRE)\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oafifoundation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/i-congreso-internacional-pacientes-artrosis-02.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.oafifoundation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/i-congreso-internacional-pacientes-artrosis-02-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oafifoundation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/i-congreso-internacional-pacientes-artrosis-02-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.oafifoundation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/i-congreso-internacional-pacientes-artrosis-02-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>ROUND TABLE ON THE Patient&#8217;S perception and quality of life with Ann Palmer (Arthritis Foundation), Dieter Weik (PARE-EULAR), Josep Verg\u00e9s (OAFI), Maritza Quintero (PANLAR) and Benito Martos (LIRE)<\/em><\/h6>\n<p>The 1st International Congress of Osteoarthritis Patients was also a meeting point for patients, public administrations, medical and scientific societies, research and development centers and other entities linked to promoting recognition of the pathology.<\/p>\n<p>During the congress, social activities, round tables and conferences were held, highlighting the challenge posed by osteoarthritis for the future of society, the quality of life of patients with osteoarthritis, the pathology in the female population and in athletes, the empowered doctor-patient relationship, the role of the patient in R&amp;D&amp;I and in the regulation of medicines, among other topics.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29805 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oafifoundation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/i-congreso-internacional-pacientes-artrosis-03.jpg\" alt=\"Mesa redonda sobre mujer ya artrosis con las epecialistas en reumatolog\u00eda, la Dra.
