Does Functional Gain and Pain Relief After TKR and THR Differ By Patient Obese Status?
Background/Purpose: Obesity is an important predictor of functional status and pain after total knee (TKR) and total hip (THR) replacement. However, variations in pre-post TKR…Abstract Number: 1932 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Shared Decision Making In Early Knee Osteoarthritis: Perspectives Of Older Adults With Overweight and Obesity and Health Care Providers

The Intensive Diet and Exercise for Arthritis Trial (IDEA): 18-Month Radiographic and MRI Outcomes
Background/Purpose: Dietary induced weight loss is a proven non-pharmacologic intervention for osteoarthritis. Based upon current literature it is unclear if weight loss modifies structural progression.…Abstract Number: 391 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
DAS28 Is Not a Sufficient Disease Activity Measure for Obese Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients – Don’t Leave the Feet Behind
Background/Purpose: Current literature suggests that obesity impacts disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the incidence of obesity is on the rise. The objective of…Abstract Number: 294 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Effects of Obesity On Health-Related Quality of Life in Childhood-Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Obesity in adults with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is associated with an added risk of cardiovascular disease, decreased health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and…Abstract Number: 241 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
