Risk Factors That Predict Poor Bone Health in Those Aged over 75 Years – a Cross Sectional Study
Background/Purpose .No studies have been conducted into the over 75 population specifically to assess the risk factors that predict BMD loss. The Framingham Osteoporosis Study…Abstract Number: 229 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Correlates of Heel Bone Mass in Young Adults: The Role of Cholesterol over 20 Years from Childhood to Early Adulthood
Background/Purpose The association between lipids and bone mass in adult life is controversial and there is limited evidence in childhood. The aim of this study…Abstract Number: 228 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Is Adult Hypophosphatasia a Cardiovascular Risk Factor?
Background/Purpose Mild forms of adult hypophosphatasia may have subtle manifestations, and may go unrecognized. The aim of this study was to get a better knowledge of its clinical spectrum. Methods We performed a computerized search of low total alkaline phosphatase among laboratory records. The diagnosis of hypophosphatasia was confirmed by measuring serum pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) and bone alkaline phosphatase. Carotid ultrasonography was performed in patients and controls with a MyLab 70…Abstract Number: 227 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Increasing Fat-Mass May Reverse Bone Loss As Detected By DXA Scan
Background/Purpose: Low body mass index (BMI) is a known risk factor for loss of bone mineral density (BMD). It is a part of the FRAX…Abstract Number: 226 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Improved Prediction of Hip Fracture Using the Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index and FRAX® in Japanese Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Prospective Observational Study
Background/Purpose: The World Health Organization Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX®) algorithm can be used to estimate 10-year probabilities of hip and major osteoporotic fractures. Previously,…Abstract Number: 225 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association Between Lean Mass and Hip Bone Mineral Density
Background/Purpose: Fat mass and lean mass (LM) represent 95% of body weight. However, the role of each component on bone mineral density (BMD) is not…Abstract Number: 224 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Is the Protective Effect of Obesity Against Hip Fracture Due to Changes of Proximal Femur Shape?
Background/Purpose: The association between increasing body mass index (BMI), increasing bone mineral density (BMD) and lower hip fracture risk has been demonstrated by previous research. Studies…Abstract Number: 223 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Risk Factors for Clinical Vertebral Fractures in Japanese Men and Women with Rheumatoid Arthritis: Results from a Large Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Lower Extremity Presarcopenia Is Associated with the Severity of Knee Pain
Background/Purpose Presarcopenia, which is defined as skeletal muscle mass loss, and knee pain have been gained attention with ageing. Little is known about the association…Abstract Number: 221 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
An Analysis of Age-Related Loss of Skeletal Muscle Mass and Its Significance on Osteoarthritis in a Korean Population
Background/Purpose This study was conducted in order to analyze the effects of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity on age-related OA of the knee in a Korean…Abstract Number: 222 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
OA Phenotypes Rather Than Disease Stage Drive Structural Progression – Identification of Structural Progressors from 2 Phase III Randomized Clinical studies with Symptomatic Knee OA
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a heterogeneous disorder, with several possible drivers of disease progression. Up to 50% of OA patients do not structurally progress, emphasizing…Abstract Number: 219 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
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
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common arthritic condition but its treatment still remains symptomatic. Understanding factors affecting the progression of this disease may enable…Abstract Number: 217 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
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)
Background/Purpose The external knee adduction moment (KAM) during gait has been characterized as a surrogate for dynamic medial knee load and is believed to be…
