Knee Osteoarthritis in Relation to the Risk Factors of the Metabolic Syndrome Components and Environment of Origin.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic degenerative pathology that is associated with multiple risk factors such as age, sex, obesity, or metabolic syndrome (MetS). The present clinical trial aimed to investigate the influence of the environment of origin, body mass index (BMI), and MetS parameters on the KOA differentiated degrees.

Methods

85 patients were admitted for the clinical study. The KOA presence was investigated using X-rays analysis. The Kellgren-Lawrence classification (KL) of the KOA severity and the MetS characteristic parameters using freshly collected blood were performed for each patient. All data collected were used for ANOVA statistic interpretation.

Results

The total cholesterol and glycemia were found to be statistically significant (<
