Incidence and progression of ankle osteoarthritis: The johnston county osteoarthritis project.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine the incidence and progression of ankle osteoarthritis (OA) and associated risk factors in a community-based cohort of African Americans and whites.

Methods

Data were from 541 participants who had standardized lateral and mortise radiography of the ankles in weight bearing at baseline (2013-2015) and follow-up (2017-2018). Incident radiographic ankle OA (rAOA) was defined as a Kellgren-Lawrence grade (KLG) ≥ 1 at follow-up among ankles with baseline KLG < 1; progressive rAOA was a ≥ 1 KLG increase at follow-up among ankles with KLG ≥ 1 at baseline. Symptoms were assessed using self-reported pain, aching, and stiffness (PAS) on most days and the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) symptoms subscale. Ankle-level logistic regression models were used to ass
