The demand on health systems for care of patients with osteoarthritis, including joint replacements, which are highly effective for late stage osteoarthritis in hips and knees, will rise in all regions, but might be out of reach and lead to further health inequity for individuals and countries ...
One study in a cohort of people with obesity showed that weight loss was associated with reduced medial cartilage volume loss in the knees over 2.3 years, suggesting a disease-modifying effect of weight loss on knee joint structure [35]. Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative also found that ...
Background: In normal knees, quadriceps contraction changes the shape of the prefemoral fat pad (PFP). However, in persons with knee osteoarthritis (OA), the functional or morphological changes of the PFP are unclear. This study aimed to clarify the morphological changes in the PFP in ...
The primary outcome measures were pain and pain-related symptoms, such as difficulty of physical function of the knees, stiffness and poor physical performance measures. Secondary outcomes were hematological measures. The overall treatment effect defined as the effect size (ES) in terms of mean chang...
Finally, no relationship was seen between BMI and traumatic eye injury (negative control) Conclusions Higher BMI in both childhood and adulthood overweight/obesity cause an excess in risk of knee and hip osteoarthritis. Whilst the effect of adult BMI seems stronger on knees, childhood BMI might ...
