Association between general joint hypermobility and knee, hip, and lumbar spine osteoarthritis by race: a cross-sectional study.
(Arthritis research & therapy, 2018-04-18)BACKGROUND:Osteoarthritis (OA) prevalence differs by race. General joint hypermobility (GJH) may be associated with OA, but differences by race are not known. This community-based study examined the frequency of GJH and ... -
Limited educational attainment and radiographic and symptomatic knee osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional analysis using data from the Johnston County (North Carolina) Osteoarthritis Project
(2010)Introduction: Applying a cross-sectional analysis to a sample of 2,627 African-American and Caucasian adults aged >= 45 years from the Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project, we studied the association between educational ... -
Novel Genetic Variants for Cartilage Thickness and Hip Osteoarthritis.
(PLoS Genet, 2016-10)Osteoarthritis is one of the most frequent and disabling diseases of the elderly. Only few genetic variants have been identified for osteoarthritis, which is partly due to large phenotype heterogeneity. To reduce heterogeneity, ... -
Quantification of the whole-body burden of radiographic osteoarthritis using factor analysis.
(Arthritis Res Ther, 2011)INTRODUCTION: Although osteoarthritis (OA) commonly involves multiple joints, no widely accepted method for quantifying whole-body OA burden exists. Therefore, our aim was to apply factor analytic methods to radiographic ... -
Serum C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Target for Therapy or Trouble?
(Biomark Insights, 2007-02-07)High sensitivity serum C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) has come into clinical use as a marker of risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). In addition to a role as a marker of disease, CRP has also been implicated in the pathogenesis ... -
Serum N-propeptide of collagen IIA (PIIANP) as a marker of radiographic osteoarthritis burden.
(PloS one, 2017-01)Cartilage homeostasis relies on a balance of catabolism and anabolism of cartilage matrix. Our goal was to evaluate the burden of radiographic osteoarthritis and serum levels of type IIA procollagen amino terminal propeptide ...
