Longitudinal Femorotibial Cartilage Thickness Increase In Young Athletes At The End Of Adolescence
Background/Purpose: Anterior or posterior cruciate ligament (ACL/PCL) ruptures are thought to lead to early knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and thus considered scientifically valuable “models” of pre-radiographic…Abstract Number: 241 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Exploratory Factor Analysis Of a Parsimonious Medial Cartilage Damage Index Reveals One Factor Associated With Radiographic Severity and Symptoms: Data From The Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: The cartilage damage index (CDI) is a parsimonious method of measuring articular cartilage approximating regional cartilage volume based on 18 locations within the knee,…Abstract Number: 242 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Elevated Systemic Blood Pressure Is Associated With Increased Prevalent Knee Osteoarthritis and Knee Pain: Data From The Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Epidemiologic studies have linked osteoarthritis (OA) to atheromatous vascular disease, both age-related diseases. Systemic hypertension (HTN) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease…Abstract Number: 243 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Association Between Metabolic Syndrome and Hand Osteoarthritis – Data From The Framingham Study
Background/Purpose: Metabolic factors may have a negative effect on cartilage, and may be especially relevant in the pathogenesis of hand OA. Our aim was to…Abstract Number: 244 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association Between Serum Adipokine Levels and Extent Of Symptomatic Joint Involvement In Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) has not traditionally been considered a systemic joint disease. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that OA cannot solely be accounted…Abstract Number: 245 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
C-Reactive Protein But Not Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Is Associated With Decrease In Muscle Strength In Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: A 2 Year Follow Up Study
Background/Purpose: In patients with knee osteoarthritis activity limitations and disease progression have been associated with muscle weakness (OA). Muscle weakness might be determined by factors…Abstract Number: 246 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Bone Mineral Density and the Risk of Knee Osteoarthritis: The Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project
Background/Purpose: There is credible evidence that high bone mineral density (BMD) is associated with an increased risk of incident radiographic osteoarthritis (ROA) of the knee.…Abstract Number: 247 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Associations Between Levels Of Urinary C-Telopeptide Fragments Of Type II Collagen and Knee Structure In Asymptomatic Middle-Aged Women
Background/Purpose: There is evidence for an association between levels of urinary C-telopeptide fragments of type II collagen (uCTX-II) and the risk of knee osteoarthritis. The…Abstract Number: 248 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Hand Osteoarthritis Is Associated With Increased Type II Collagen Degradation In Women: The Ofely Study
Background/Purpose: Hand osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common sites of OA and predominantly affects women. Patients with knee, hip or spine OA exhibit…Abstract Number: 249 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Biomarkers Reflect Differences In Osteoarthritis Phenotypes Of The Lumbar Spine: The Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project
Background/Purpose: We have previously identified differences in associations between joint metabolism biomarkers and radiographic features of the lumbar spine (disc space narrowing (DSN) and osteophytes…Abstract Number: 250 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Synovial Inflammation In Meniscal Tear Patients: CCL19 mRNA Expression Is Independently Associated With Knee Related Disability
Background/Purpose: In patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), synovitis is associated with severity of knee symptoms. Previously, we demonstrated that in patients undergoing partial meniscectomy without…Abstract Number: 251 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Physical Activity Is Associated With Reduced Incident Disability: Evidence From The Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Over 56 million people in the U.S. are classified as disabled. Physical activity is a low cost, broadly applicable approach to improve cardiovascular fitness,…Abstract Number: 252 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Association Of Knee Buckling With Vibratory Perception and Muscle Strength: The Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study
Background/Purpose: Knee buckling (“giving way”) is a common symptom in knee osteoarthritis (OA). Yet, little is known regarding risk factors for buckling. Knee buckling has…Abstract Number: 253 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Higher Leg Extensor Muscle Power Output Is Associated With Reduced Pain and Better Quality Of Life In Patients With Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Muscle strength, the maximal force generating capacity of skeletal muscle, has been widely characterized in patients with knee osteoarthritis. However, skeletal muscle power, defined…Abstract Number: 254 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Relationship Of Foot Pronation During Walking To Risk Of Incident Medial Tibiofemoral and Lateral Patellofemoral Cartilage Damage: The Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study
Background/Purpose: Studies of older adults suggest an association between plantar pressure measures of foot pronation and medial tibiofemoral (med TF) cartilage damage, while studies of…
