In women, a 5.1 kg reduction in body weight (BW) over a 10-year period decreased the likelihood of developing symptomatic knee OA by 50%.4 In dogs risk factors include age, large or giant breeds, genetics, developmental orthopedic disease, trauma and obesity. One long term study documented...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease that causes painful swelling and permanent damage to the joints in the body. The molecular mechanisms of OA are currently unknown. OA is a heterogeneous disease that affects the entire joint, and multiple tissues are altered during ...
a recent study has shown that, in particular articulations such as the hip, OA may be undetected if the diagnosis relies solely on radiographs (Kim et al., 2015). Therefore the evidence-based recommendation for the diagnosis of knee and hip OA should include both radiographic and clinical feat...
We first detected alterations in PDGFR-β levels in the subchondral bone of humans with OA. Western blot results showed that the PDGFR-β level was remarkably elevated in the osteoarthritic part of the human subchondral bone compared with the relatively normal (RN) part (Fig.1a, b).7This ele...
In subject area: Nursing and Health Professions Knee osteoarthritis refers to a common form of arthritis that primarily affects older individuals, leading to chronic disability. It is characterized by mechanical abnormalities in the knee joint, such as reduced cartilage and meniscal deformation, resulting...
Believers in this therapy think the magnets help iron circulate in the blood and get joints the nutrition they need. But unlike its metal form, the iron in your body isn't magnetic. Wearing magnets has no physical effect on your blood or joints. The same goes for copper bracelets. In ...

The prevention of osteoarthritis through controlling body measurements has received increasing attention in recent years, but the relationship between lean body mass (LBM) and osteoarthritis remains unclear. Hence, we explored this association through the data from the National Health and Nutrition ...
Baseline characteristics were similar between the participants randomized to each group (Table 1 and eTable 1 in Supplement 3). The study population had a mean age of 65.2 years (SD, 9.3 years), 104 were women (47.3%), and the population had a mean body mass index (calculated as weight...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by cartilage degradation, osteophyte formation, and synovial inflammation [1]. This disease can affect all tissues in the joint, including the articular cartilage, subchondral bone, the ligament capsule, and the synovial membrane, leading...
