WOMAC scale is a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 24 items divided into 3 subscales:
Pain (5 items): during walking, using stairs, in bed, sitting or lying, and standing upright Stiffness (2 items): after first waking and later in the day Physical Function (17 items): using stairs, rising from sitting, standing, bending, walking, getting in / out of a car, shopping, putting on / taking off socks, rising from bed, lying in bed, getting in / out of bath, sitting, getting on / off toilet, heavy domestic duties, light domestic duties
The test questions are scored on a 0-4 scale, corresponding to: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate (2), Severe (3), and Extreme (4).
The scores for each subscale are summed up; higher scores on the WOMAC indicate worse pain, stiffness, and functional limitations

Serum CRP levels were assessed by means of a commercially available CRP enzyme immunoassay

Levels of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, nitrates/nitrites will be evaluated by means of ELISA-testing

Painkillers utilization will be registered on a daily basis by participants, indicating dosage and daily frequency of use.

progression of coronary artery calcium deposits as determined by computed tomography as measured by the Agatston score: The Agatston score was calculated by multiplying the lesion area (mm^2) by a density factor. The density was measured in Hounsfield units, and score of 1 for 130-199 HU, 2 for 200-299 HU, 3 for 300-399 HU, and 4 for 400 HU and greater The endpoint is the mean change (end of study value - baseline value) in each group.
