OBJECTIVE
To examine the relationship of knee osteoarthritis (OA) with cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors by obesity status and gender.
METHODS
Data from 1,066 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III participants (≥60 years of age) was used to examine relationships of
Osteoarthritis is increasingly viewed as a heterogeneous disease with multiple phenotypic subgroups. Obesity enhances joint degeneration in mouse models of posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). Most models of PTOA involve damage to surrounding tissues caused by surgery/fracture; it is unclear if
The previous reports suggest that obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is related to metabolic syndrome, mineral metabolism disorders and cardiovascular disease. In addition, a possible relationship between obesity and the calcification of ligaments has been implied. However, the potential link between
The contribution of leptin, as a possible link between osteoarthritis (OA) and obesity, was studied in cartilage and synovial fluid samples obtained from osteoarthritic patients. Its effect on cartilage was evaluated in rats after intraarticular injections of leptin. Leptin levels were measured in
OBJECTIVE
Investigation of the association between obesity and the distinction of radiographic patterns in knee osteoarthritis.
METHODS
Seven hundred and thirty-four women underwent weight-bearing antero-posterior knee radiography. Osteophytes and joint space narrowing (JSN) were graded according to
In addition to aging, obesity is one of the most common underlying causes of osteoarthritis (OA). Mechanical loading, together with biochemical and systemic factors linked to altered lipid metabolism, are thought to contribute to the onset of OA. It has been suggested that OA is a systemic metabolic
OBJECTIVE
To explore whether the risk of incident tibiofemoral (TF) osteoarthritis (OA) in the radiographically normal contralateral knee of overweight/obese women with unilateral knee OA is mediated by malalignment and/or preceded by increased turnover of subchondral bone.
METHODS
We used data of
A retrospective analysis was conducted of 32 patients (33 ankles) who had undergone surgical ankle arthroscopy for chronic ankle pain that was recalcitrant to conservative treatment. All patients were examined clinically and completed a written questionnaire. Intraoperative ankle arthroscopy showed
Reported here are the results of a study on the significance of osteophyte formation in the osteoarthritic knee joint. The osteophyte formation was examined in a total of 795 cases involving 1040 joints. Of these, 415 cases (660 joints) had no symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee joint (Group A);
To investigate the longitudinal association between objectively measured ambulatory activity (AA) and knee MRI-detected osteophytes (OPs), and to test whether this relationship was modified by common risk factors for OA including sex, obesity, disease severity and knee injury To evaluate the preventive effects of a randomized controlled trial on progression of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) features of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in overweight and obese women.
In a 2 × 2 factorial design, 2.5 years effects of a diet and exercise program and of glucosamine sulphate
OBJECTIVE
To examine the association of obesity and osteoarthritis (OA) at various sites in middle aged women and to estimate the magnitude of the weight difference associated with OA.
METHODS
A co-twin control study was performed within a population based twin study of women aged 48-70. OA was
Osteoarthritis is a common complication in the elderly and is often associated with osteophyte growth on vertebral bodies. The clinical presentation of vertebral osteophytes is related to anatomical structures adjacent to the spinal column. For instance, cervical osteophytes potentially involve the
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of weight change on progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA) structural features by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in overweight and obese women without clinical knee OA.
METHODS
347 participants from the Prevention of Knee Osteoarthritis in Overweight Females
Obesity and the female sex represent significant risk factors for osteoarthritis (OA). Few studies have demonstrated a metabolic link between obesity and OA, strengthening the likelihood that biomechanical factors mediate this relationship, possibly via the redistribution of increased body mass to
