DXA Body Composition, Sarcopenia and Knee and Hip Osteoarthritis: Results from the Khoala Cohort
Background/Purpose Obesity is a well known risk factor for the development and progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA), and to a lesser extent of hip OA.…Abstract Number: 218 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Surface Area and Fatty Infiltration of Vastus Medialis Measured By Magnetic Resonance Imaging Are Risk Factors for the Progression of Knee Osteoarthritis and Discriminate Two Osteoarthritis Phenotypes

The Relationship of Quadriceps and Hamstrings Intramuscular Fat and Lean Muscle with Power in Women with Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/PurposeReduced quadriceps and hamstrings strength is a risk factor for knee osteoarthritis (OA). This strength loss is partly due to the loss of lean muscle…Abstract Number: 211 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association Between Baseline External Knee Adduction and Flexion Moments during Gait and Medial Tibiofemoral Cartilage Thickness Loss over Two Years in Persons with Knee Osteoarthritis (OA)

Preliminary Assessment of Predictive Validity of Cartilage Thickness MRI Biomarkers in Knee OA – the Fnih OA Biomarkers Consortium
Background/Purpose We sought to investigate if cartilage thickness change over 24 months predicts clinically relevant progression (radiographic and/or symptomatic) in knee OA over a 48…Abstract Number: 209 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Physical Performance and Obesity Measures Are Associated with Tibial Cartilage Volume and Explains the Sex Difference in Cartilage Volume
Background/Purpose The factors associated with knee cartilage volume in younger population are insufficiently explored. The aims of this study were to describe the associations between…Abstract Number: 208 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Correlates of Knee Bone Marrow Lesions in Younger Adults
Background/Purpose: Bone marrow lesions (BMLs) of the knee joint are a key player in osteoarthritis of the knee. However, little is known of their determinants,…Abstract Number: 207 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting

Risk Factors for Increased Extrusion of the Meniscus Body in Subjects Free of Radiographic Knee Osteoarthritis: 6-Year MRI Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose Meniscal body extrusion on knee MRI is strongly associated with the development and progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, there is very limited evidence…Abstract Number: 205 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Natural History and Clinical Significance of Meniscal Tears over 8 Years in a Largely Non-Osteoarthritic Cohort
Background/Purpose: Meniscal tears are a key player in knee osteoarthritis (OA) and family history of the disease has been shown to play an important role.…Abstract Number: 204 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Ultrasonographic Predictors for Clinical and Radiological Progression in Knee Osteoarthritis after 2 Years Follow up
Background/Purpose Pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA) is not completely understood. Identifying patients with progression might help to direct future research on therapeutic interventions. As OA is…Abstract Number: 203 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Predictors of Radiographic Progression of Interphalangeal Finger Joints in Erosive Osteoarthritis: A Prospective Study
Background/Purpose Predictors of radiographic progression in erosive osteoarthritis (OA) are important in identifying patients with high risk of disease activity and consequently functional loss. Disease…Abstract Number: 202 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
