Sex dimorphism in the association of cardiometabolic characteristics and osteophytes-defined radiographic knee osteoarthritis among obese and non-obese adults: NHANES III.

Only registered users can translate articles

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

Obesity and load-induced posttraumatic osteoarthritis in the absence of fracture or surgical trauma

Only registered users can translate articles

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

Assessment of the calcification of the nuchal ligament and osteophytes of the cervical spine in obstructive sleep apnoea subjects and snorers.

Only registered users can translate articles

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

[Is leptin the missing link between osteoarthritis and obesity?].

Only registered users can translate articles

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

Associations between obesity and the radiographic phenotype in knee osteoarthritis.

Only registered users can translate articles

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

[Leptin: a link between obesity and osteoarthritis?].

Only registered users can translate articles

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

Malalignment and subchondral bone turnover in contralateral knees of overweight/obese women with unilateral osteoarthritis: implications for bilateral disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

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

Ankle arthroscopy: follow-up study of 33 ankles--effect of physical therapy and obesity.

Only registered users can translate articles

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

[Osteophyte formation in the knee joint: a radiological study].

Only registered users can translate articles

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);

Ambulatory activity interacts with common risk factors for osteoarthritis to modify increases in MRI-detected osteophytes.

Only registered users can translate articles

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

Reducing progression of knee OA features assessed by MRI in overweight and obese women: secondary outcomes of a preventive RCT.

Only registered users can translate articles

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

The association of obesity with osteoarthritis of the hand and knee in women: a twin study.

Only registered users can translate articles

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

Vertebral spinal osteophytes.

Only registered users can translate articles

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

Effect of weight change on progression of knee OA structural features assessed by MRI in overweight and obese women.

Only registered users can translate articles

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, risk factors for knee osteoarthritis that may be attributable to systemic or local leptin biosynthesis and its cellular effects.

Only registered users can translate articles

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
