Objectively Measured Physical Activity and Risk of Knee Osteoarthritis: The Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Regular physical activity (PA) reduces risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and premature death. Moreover, PA can counteract the reduction in fitness, muscular strength,…Abstract Number: 3132 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Protective Effects of Replacing Sedentary Time with Light and Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity on Functional Limitation in Knee OA
Background/Purpose: Physical activity protects the development of functional limitation in knee osteoarthritis (OA). But little is known about the protective effects of physical activity intensity,…Abstract Number: 2246 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Occupations Involving Manual Labor Increase the Risk for Incident Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose : CDC guidelines indicate regular physical activity can lead to improved health outcomes. Physically active occupations may contribute toward meeting these guidelines. The impact…Abstract Number: 2274 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Increasing Moderate-to-Vigorous Activity and Decreasing Sedentary Time Are Associated with 2-Year Weight Loss in Obese Persons with or at Risk for Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is recommended for weight loss; however it is unclear how activity or sedentary changes influence long-term weight loss in obese…Abstract Number: 2414 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
High-Intensity Versus Low-Intensity Physical Activity or Exercises in Patients with Hip or Knee Osteoarthritis: A Meta-Analysis
Background/Purpose: Exercise or physical activity are complex interventions whose effectiveness depends on more than one component. We aimed to determine the benefits and harms of…Abstract Number: 2091 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Influence of Increasing Physical Activity on Longitudinal Changes in Disability Status Among Inactive Older Adults
Background/Purpose: An estimated 21% of disability attributed to arthritis is related to inactivity. This study analyzed data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) to evaluate the…Abstract Number: 2944 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Sedentary Time Is an Independent Risk Factor for Disability Onset Among Adults at Elevated Risk: Prospective Cohort Study
Background/Purpose: Disability threatens personal independence and is a major driver of health care costs. Physical activity has been shown to prevent disability. Sedentary behavior, already…Abstract Number: 2895 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Habitual Running Any Time in Life Is Not Detrimental and May be Protective of Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose Controversy exists regarding whether habitual running is beneficial versus harmful to the knee. Chronic mechanical overloading could potentially physically damage structures within the knee. …Abstract Number: 1090 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association of Objectively Measured Physical Activity and Metabolic Syndrome Among Adults with Osteoarthritis in the United States
Background/Purpose: Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of osteoarthritis (OA). The accumulation of components of the metabolic syndrome is associated with a gradual increase in the…Abstract Number: 1073 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Longitudinal Decline In Steps/Day In Older Adults With Or At High Risk Of Knee OA
Background/Purpose: Walking is the most common type of physical activity older adults employ for physical activity, which, when performed regularly, confers important health benefits. When…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: 794 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
How Many Steps/Day Are Associated with a Community Level Gait Speed Among Older Adults with or At High Risk of Knee OA?
Background/Purpose: While recommended levels of physical activity associated with reducing the risk of poor health outcomes are well known, it is unclear what minimal level…Abstract Number: 800 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
BMI, Occupational Activity, and Leisure-Time Physical Activity: an Exploration of Risk Factors and Modifiers for Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Risk of knee osteoarthritis (OA) is increased by obesity, and also by physical activities which mechanically stress the joint. The few studies which have…
