Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the sex differences in the relationship of metabolic syndrome (MetS) criteria with arthritis and symptomatic arthritis among Mexican American older adults aged ≥ 65 without self-reported arthritis at baseline over 23-years of follow-up. METHODS Participants (N = 1447) were from the Hispanic Established Population for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly (1993/94-2016). Measures included MetS criteria, arthritis defined as self-reported physician-diagnosed arthritis, socio-demographics, morbidities, depressive symptoms, pain on weight-bearing, cognitive and physical function, handgrip strength, mobility, and activities of daily living (ADLs) limitations. Symptomatic arthritis was defined as self-reported arthritis and having ≥ 1 of the following: pain, mobility limitation, or limited ADLs. RESULTS At baseline, the mean age was 72.6 years and 730 (50.5%) of our participants were females. Female participants with 2 and 3 MetS criteria had greater odds of arthritis [odds ratio (OR) = 1.77, 95% Confidence Interval (Cl) = 1.28-2.45 and OR = 2.68, 95% CI = 1.69-4.27, respectively) and symptomatic arthritis (OR = 1.74, 95% Cl = 1.24-2.44 and OR = 3.27, 95% CI = 2.04-5.26, respectively) after controlling for covariates. Male participants with 2 and 3 MetS criteria had greater odds of arthritis (OR = 1.65, 95% Cl = 1.14-2.39 and OR = 2.52, 95% CI = 1.51-4.19, respectively) and symptomatic arthritis (OR = 1.93, 95% Cl = 1.30-2.86 and OR = 2.98, 95% CI = 1.62-5.47, respectively) after controlling for covariates. Both females and males with pain on weight-bearing had greater odds of arthritis than those without pain. CONCLUSIONS At 23-years of follow-up, Mexican American older adults with MetS have an increased risk of arthritis and symptomatic arthritis. Early MetS screening and management may reduce arthritis in this population at high risk of disability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Translation and cross-cultural validation of the Serbian version of the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (Srb-LEFS). METHODS This prospective cross-sectional study initially included 186 postmenopausal women aged 60 to 75 years who underwent an x-ray examination of both knees, along with body mass, body height, waist circumference, knee range of motion, and blood pressure measurements. The laboratory analyses included the evaluation of fasting glucose levels and lipid profile. All participants completed the LEFS, Lequesne index, and 36-Item Short-Form Survey-RAND. RESULTS The analyses revealed good internal consistency (α = 0.95), good test-retest reliability, and a two-factor structure of the Srb-LEFS. Concurrent validity analysis confirmed a significant positive correlation between Srb-LEFS scores and the 36-Item Short-Form Survey-RAND Physical Functioning subscale ( r = 0.889, P < 0.0001), the Lequesne index ( r = -0.976, P < 0.0001), and the Numeric Rating Scale for pain ( r = -0.762, P < 0.0001). Convergent validity analyses revealed a statistically significant negative correlation between the Srb-LEFS scores and age ( r = -0.25, P = 0.006), body mass index ( r = -0.31, P < 0.01), and waist circumference ( r = -0.37, P < 0.0001). The Srb-LEFS scores were statistically significantly higher among participants that reported moderate physical activity levels, as well as those that had fewer comorbidities, minor structural knee damage, greater knee range of motion, and greater quadriceps femoris muscle strength. CONCLUSIONS The Serbian version of the LEFS is feasible, valid, and reliable for use in both clinical practice and clinical studies to assess self-reported physical functioning in older individuals with knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Objective: This pilot study aimed to determine the correlation of metabolic syndrome (MetS), its components, and increased LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and total cholesterol levels with osteoarthritis (OA). In addition, our goal was to establish the association between MetS and the degree of handicap measured by the Lequesne index of functionality and severity of knee osteoarthritis. Materials and methods: The pilot study included 25 subjects with knee OA and 19 subjects without knee OA. All subjects were menopausal or premenopausal women. MetS was diagnosed according to the National Cholesterol Education Program, Adult Treatment Panel III. OA was diagnosed if Kellgren-Lawrence ≥ 2. Results: MetS was detected in 80% of subjects with OA. In the non-OA group, MetS was detected in 26% of subjects. The difference in MetS prevalence between the two groups was significant (p=0.000). The presence of each MetS component was significant in the OA group, except for central obesity, which presence was marginally significant (p=0.054). Prevalence of increased total (p=0.019) and LDL cholesterol (p=0.000) was also significant in the OA group. A significant difference between OA and the non-OA group was detected in the prevalence of all five MetS components (p=0.016). In the OA group, the Lequesne index of functionality and severity of knee osteoarthritis was not significantly altered between subjects with and without MetS. Conclusion: Metabolic syndrome, its components, increased LDL, and total cholesterol are correlated with osteoarthritis in premenopausal and menopausal women. MetS is not correlated with the degree of handicap in the knee joint measured by the Lequesne index.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A disintegrin and metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 6 (ADAMTS6)-derived circular RNA (circADAMTS6; hsa_circ_0008667) is a novel regulator in interleukin (IL)-1β-induced apoptosis of human chondrocytes (HCs). Here, we planned to probe into its role and mechanism underlying HCs injury in osteoarthritis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Real time-quantitative PCR and immunoblotting estimated the abundance of RNA and protein, respectively. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were measured by WST-8, EdU, fluorescein isothiocyanate, and caspase3/7 activity assays. Levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α), apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2 and Bcl-2-associated X protein), extracellular matrix (ECM)-related proteins (matrix metalloproteinase-13 and collagen type II alpha-1), and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway-related proteins (AKT, mTOR, phosphorylated-AKT, and phosphorylated-mTOR) were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and immunoblotting. Target relationship was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter, Argonaute-2 immunoprecipitation and RNA pull-down assays. RESULTS Abundances of circADAMTS6 and phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 3 (PIK3R3) were underexpressed, and microRNA (miR)-324-5p was elevated in human osteoarthritic tissues and IL-1β-induced HCs. Overexpressing circADAMTS6 and inhibiting miR-324-5p enhanced proliferation and ECM synthesis, but suppressed apoptosis and inflammatory response in IL-1β-challenged HCs. Besides, silencing circADAMTS6 caused similar effects of IL-1β stress on HCs. Mechanically, there was a direct interaction between miR-324-5p and circADAMTS6 or PIK3R3, and IL-1β-induced activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway was suppressed by circADAMTS6 overexpression and miR-324-5p silencing. Furthermore, counteractive effects of miR-324-5p upregulation on circADAMTS6 overexpression and PIK3R3 knockdown on miR-324-5p silencing were observed. CONCLUSION CircADAMTS6-miR-324-5p-PIK3R3 axis might participate in IL-1β-induced HCs dysfunction via competing endogenous RNA mechanism and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Abstract
There is conflicting evidence for the association between alcohol consumption and common joint conditions such as Osteoarthritis (OA), which affects millions of people. We sought to determine the true association between alcohol intake and OA. We conducted a PRISMA systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies that reported associations between alcohol consumption and OA. Pooled estimates of association were represented through odds ratios (ORs). Publication bias was assessed with Funnel and Galbraith plots, and risk of bias was assessed with the Newcastle Ottawa Scale. We included 29 studies and 25,192 subjects with OA and reported an OR between any alcohol consumption and OA of 0.79 (0.68–0.93), suggesting a protective effect. OR of weekly or more frequent use was 0.79 (0.65–0.97). When grouped by covariates, alcohol consumption was negatively associated with radiographic (0.83, 0.70–0.98), hand (0.80, 0.66–0.95) and knee OA (0.85, 0.72–0.99), North American ethnicity and female gender. Subgroup analysis of unadjusted data resulted in an OR of 0.70 (0.55–0.89) but this disappeared upon analysis of studies with data adjusted for any covariate (0.93, 0.78–1.10). Whilst our pooled analysis suggest that weekly or more frequent alcohol consumption was negatively associated with OA, this was not observed when adjusted for confounding factors. Reasons for this include selection bias and lack of longitudinal exposure and adjustment for confounding variables. Therefore, this meta-analysis provides evidence to dispel notions that alcohol use may be protective against OA.

Presence of MRI-defined inflammation particularly in overweight and obese women increases risk of radiographic knee osteoarthritis: the POMA Study. Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 2021; 74:1391-1398. [PMID: 33527736 PMCID: PMC8326300 DOI: 10.1002/acr.24568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2020] [Revised: 12/28/2020] [Accepted: 01/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aims were to assess 1.) whether odds for incident radiographic osteoarthritis (ROA) differ between men and women in regard to body mass index (BMI) and inflammatory magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markers one and two years prior and 2.) whether presence of inflammation on MRI differs between normal-weight, and overweight/obese persons that develop ROA up to four years prior. METHODS We studied 355 knees from the Osteoarthritis Initiative study that developed incident ROA and 355 matched controls. MRIs were read for effusion-synovitis and Hoffa-synovitis for up to four consecutive annual time points. Subjects were classified as normal-weight (BMI < 25), overweight (BMI ≥25/<30) or obese (BMI ≥30). Conditional logistic regression was used to assess odds of incident ROA for effusion-synovitis and Hoffa-synovitis at one and two years prior ROA incidence (i.e. "P-1" and "P-2") considering BMI category. Bivariate logistic regression was used to assess odds of inflammation for cases only. RESULTS 178 (25.1%) participants were normal-weight, 283 (39.9%) overweight and 249 (35.1%) obese. At P-2 being overweight with Hoffa-synovitis (OR 3.26, 95%CI 1.39,7.65) or effusion-synovitis (3.56, 95%CI 1.45,8.75) was associated with greater odds of incident ROA in women. For those with incident ROA there were no increased odds of synovitis in the overweight/obese subgroup for most time points but increased odds for effusion-synovitis were observed at P-2 (OR 2.21, 95%CI 1.11,4.43). CONCLUSIONS Presence of inflammatory markers seems to play a role especially in overweight women while obese women have increased odds for ROA also in the absence of these markers.

Whole-Body Vibration as Antihypertensive Non-Pharmacological Treatment in Hypertensive Individuals with Knee Osteoarthritis: Randomized Cross-Over Trial. SUSTAINABILITY 2020.

Abstract
(1) Background: Hypertension is a serious medical condition characterized by a persistent increase in blood pressure (BP), which is prevalent in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Pharmacological interventions are normally used to treat both hypertension and KOA; however, a more sustainable form of treatment is desirable for these clinical conditions. Whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise has been proposed as a non-pharmacological therapy for reducing both BP and KOA symptomatology. This study aimed to evaluate the antihypertensive effect of WBV in hypertensive individuals with KOA. (2) Methods: Nineteen hypertensive individuals with KOA were randomly allocated to either a control (CG) (n = 9) or a WBV group (WBVG) (n = 10). Subjects in the WBVG were positioned sitting in a chair in front of a vibrating platform (VP) with the feet on the base (peak-to-peak displacement 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 mm; frequencies 5 to 14 Hz). In the CG, subjects assumed the same position with the VP turned off. The protocols in the CG and WBVG were performed 2 days/week for a total of 5 weeks. (3) Results: No baseline differences (age, anthropometrics, BP parameters and medications) between the groups were found (p > 0.05). WBV exercise reduced systolic BP (SBP: 126.1 ± 2.7 versus 119.1 ± 3.2 mmHg; p = 0.001; post hoc: p = 0.02; F = 23.97) and mean BP (MBP: 82.6 ± 1.8 versus 78.7 ± 1.8, p = 0.001, post hoc: p = 0.02; F = 23.97), while no significant changes were found in diastolic BP (DBP: 68.5 ± 2.2 versus 64.4 ± 2.3; p = 0.11; F = 2.68). (4) Conclusions: WBV might be considered a sustainable therapy for exerting an antihypertensive effect in medicated hypertensive individuals with KOA. This decline in BP might translate to a reduction in pharmacological need, although further studies are necessary to understand the mechanisms underlying the described effect.

Metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and hyperglycemia were positively associated with knee osteoarthritis, while dyslipidemia showed no association with knee osteoarthritis. Clin Rheumatol 2020; 40:711-724. [PMID: 32705443 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-020-05216-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2019] [Revised: 05/05/2020] [Accepted: 06/02/2020] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clustering of at least three of the following four medical conditions: obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia. We aimed to discover the relationships between these diseases and osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. METHODS We searched four databases (EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and MEDLINE), as well as articles on websites and conference materials. Study effect estimates and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were extracted and calculated. Sensitivity analyses were undertaken to determine inter-study heterogeneity. Finally, we tested for publication bias to determine whether the outcome of the meta-analysis was robust. RESULTS A total of 1609 articles were identified, 40 of which were included. In radiological studies, the relationships with OA were increased for people with the following diseases: metabolic syndrome (OR 1.418, 95% CI 1.162 to 1.730), hypertension (OR 1.701, 95% CI 1.411 to 2.052), and hyperglycemia (OR 1.225, 95% CI 1.054 to 1.424). In symptomatic studies, the outcomes were similar in metabolic syndrome (OR 1.174, 95% CI 1.034 to 1.332) and hypertension (OR 1.324, 95% CI 1.186 to 1.478) studies, while there were no associations in hyperglycemia (OR 0.975, 95% CI 0.860 to 1.106) studies. There was no correlation between dyslipidemia and OA, whether in radiological studies (OR 1.216, 95% CI 0.968 to 1.529) or symptomatic studies (OR 1.050, 95% CI 0.961 to 1.146). CONCLUSIONS In both studies, metabolic syndrome and hypertension were positively associated with knee OA, and dyslipidemia showed no correlations. Hyperglycemia was associated with OA in radiological studies, while results were reversed in symptomatic studies. Key Points • The hypothesis that metabolic syndrome and its components increase the risk for knee osteoarthritis is attractive; thus, this meta-analysis may help us find out the answer. • There were lots of large-scale studies here, and the total participants were considerable; and this meta-analysis was relatively robust because of reasonable heterogeneity and publication bias. • Targeted education and effective management of risk factors may be helpful for reducing the prevalence of knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) has been associated with knee osteoarthritis onset and progression. This study uses machine learning (ML) approaches to predict serum levels of some adipokines/related inflammatory factors and their ratios on knee IPFP volume of osteoarthritis patients. METHODS Serum and MRI were from the OAI at baseline. Variables comprised the 3 main osteoarthritis risk factors (age, gender, BMI), 6 adipokines, 3 inflammatory factors, and their 36 ratios. IPFP volume was assessed on MRI with a ML methodology. The best variables and models were identified in Total-cohort (n = 678), High-BMI (n = 341) and Low-BMI (n = 337), using a selection approach based on ML methods. RESULTS The best model for each group included three risk factors and adipsin/C-reactive protein combined for Total-cohort, adipsin/chemerin; High-BMI, chemerin/adiponectin HMW; and Low-BMI, interleukin-8. Gender separation improved the prediction (13-16%) compared to the BMI-based models. Reproducibility with osteoarthritis patients from a clinical trial was excellent (R: female 0.83, male 0.95). Pseudocodes based on gender were generated. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates for the first time that the combination of the serum levels of adipokines/inflammatory factors and the three main risk factors of osteoarthritis could predict IPFP volume with high reproducibility, with the superior performance of the model accounting for gender separation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of metabolic syndrome and its components on osteoarthritis of the hip joints compared to a healthy cohort in the KORA MRI-study. METHODS Randomly selected men and women from the general population were classified as having metabolic syndrome, defined as presence of central obesity plus two of the following four components: elevated blood pressure (BP), elevated fasting glucose, elevated triglycerides (TG) and low HDL-cholesterol (HDL-c), or as controls without metabolic syndrome. Therefore, each subject underwent detailed assessment of waist circumference as well as fasting glucose, systolic and diastolic BP, TG, and HDL-c concentrations as well as a full-body MR scan. MR measurements were performed on a 3 Tesla scanner (Magnetom Skyra, Siemens) including a dual-echo Dixon and a T2 SS-FSE sequence for anatomical structures. In order to quantify osteoarthritis of the hip, assessment was performed by two independent, experienced radiologists for joint gap narrowing, osteophytic lipping and subchondral changes (e.g. sclerosis, pseudocysts). Associations between metabolic syndrome components and hip degeneration were estimated by logistic regression models providing odds ratios. RESULTS Among 354 included participants (mean age: 56.1 ± 9.2 years; 55.4% male), 119 (34%) had metabolic syndrome, while 235 (66%) were part of the control group. Except for elevated blood glucose (p = 0.02), none of the metabolic syndromes' component was independently associated with osteoarthritis. Multivariable adjusted ORs for osteoarthritis of the right hip were 1.00 (95% CI 0.98;1.03), 1.00 (95% CI 0.99;1.00), 1.01 (95% CI 0.99;1.03), 1.00 (95% CI 0.97;1.04) and 1.01 (95% CI 0.96;1.06), and for the left hip 1.00 (95% CI 0.98;1.03), 1.00 (95% CI 1.00;1.01), 1.01 (95% CI 0.99;1.03), 0.99 (95% CI 0.96;1.02) and 1.04 (95% CI 0.99;1.09) for waist circumference, triglyceride, HDL-c and systolic and diastolic BP, respectively. Blood glucose was a borderline non-dependent factor for osteoarthritis of the right hip (OR: 1.02 (95% CI 1.0;1.04); p = 0.05). Furthermore, the compound metabolic syndrome was not significantly associated (OR left hip: 1.53 (95% CI 0.8;2.92), p = 0.20; OR right hip: 1.33 (95% CI 0.72;2.45), p = 0.37) with osteoarthritis of the hip joint. Age as well as gender (left hip) were the only parameters in univariate and multivariate analysis to be significantly associated with osteoarthritis of the hip joint. CONCLUSION The compound metabolic syndrome showed no association with osteoarthritis of the hip joint. Age was the only parameter to be dependently and independently associated to osteoarthritis of both hip joints, while elevated blood glucose was independently associated with degeneration of the right hip joint.
