Risk of Disability in Underweight Persons with or at Increased Risk of Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: US studies have revealed a U-shaped relationship between BMI and poor outcomes (function, mortality); both underweight and overweight/obese persons have greater risk. In knee…Abstract Number: 2189 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Metabolic Syndrome Influences the Radiographic Progression of Knee Osteoarthritis and Condition the Risk of Erosive Hand OA

Widespread Regulation of Gene Expression By Glucocorticoids in Chondrocytes from OA Patients As Determined By NGS-Based Genome Wide Expression Analysis
Background/Purpose: In osteoarthritis (OA), chondrocytes display marked changes in their gene expression profile. Some of these are thought to be protective [e.g. increased synthesis of…Abstract Number: 2192 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association between Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) Haplogroups and Bone Marrow Lesions at 24 Months in Osteoarthritis Subjects: Subjets from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Bone marrow lesions (BMLs) have been consistently associated with the development of osteoarthritis (OA); however the extent to which they are genetically driven by…Abstract Number: 2193 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Physical Activity and Disease Progression in Persons with or at Higher Risk for Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: The benefits of physical activity in the general population and among persons with knee osteoarthritis (OA) are well-established. However, it remains unclear if inactivity…Abstract Number: 2194 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Relationship between the Number of Prescription Medications and Physical Activity Amongst Patients with or at High Risk for Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Physical activity amongst individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) has been linked to improved pain, functional status, and less disability. It is important to understand…Abstract Number: 2195 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Relationship between Self-Reported Restless Sleep and Objectively Measured Physical Activity
Title: The Relationship between Self-reported Restless Sleep and Objectively Measured Physical ActivityBackground/Purpose: Despite many health benefits of physical activity, inactivity is endemic among adults, especially…Abstract Number: 2196 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
An Exploratory Analysis of Physical Activity Levels and the Presence of Bone Marrow Lesions in Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Many people with knee OA have bone marrow lesions (BMLs). BMLs are related with structural pathology and pain. Some investigators have found an association…Abstract Number: 2197 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Systemic Inflammation and Physical Function in Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of functional limitation and disability in older adults. But why some knee OA patients develop functional limitation…Abstract Number: 2198 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Combinatorial Peripheral Blood Inflammatory and MRI-Based Biomarkers Predict Radiographic Joint Space Narrowing in Knee OA
Background/Purpose: Inflammation contributes to OA disease pathogenesis. Subsets of knee OA patients with peripheral blood leukocyte (PBL) detected inflammatory gene expression profiles exhibit more rapid…Abstract Number: 2199 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Feasibility of a Novel Approach to Studying Early Knee Osteoarthritis: An Offspring Study
Background/Purpose: Much of osteoarthritis (OA) research has focused on identifying treatments for late stage disease. However, interventions in early disease may be most effective. Capitalizing…Abstract Number: 2200 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
History of Walking for Exercise Is Not Associated with More Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Walking is recommended for those with knee OA (KOA). However, few studies have explored the association between walking and symptomatic OA, and conflicting data…
