Background: There is a need for prediction of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in general practice to
motivate subjects for preventive therapies and optimize preventive trials. Aim: To develop a …

Objectives (1) To develop risk prediction models for knee osteoarthritis (OA) and (2) to
estimate the risk reduction that results from modification of potential risk factors. Method This …

Objective: Increased BMI is a well‐recognized risk factor for radiographic knee osteoarthritis
(rKOA); however, the contributions of the components of body composition, body fat …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of pain and disability and leads to a reduced quality of
life. The aim was to determine the current evidence on risk factors for onset of knee pain/OA …

Background The incidence of knee osteoarthritis (OA) is rising. While several risk factors
have been associated with the development of knee OA, this information is not readily …

Objective To examine longitudinal patterns in body mass index (BMI) over 14 years and its
association with knee pain in the Chingford Study. Methods We studied a total of 594 …

Objective This study evaluated the effect of moderate weight loss on the incidence of knee
osteoarthritis (OA) in middle‐aged overweight and obese women, without clinical and …

Objectives The aim of this study was to identify sex-specific prevalence and strength of risk
factors for the incidence of radiographic knee OA (incRKOA). Methods Our study population …

Aim To evaluate the potential role of age, sex, body mass index (BMI), radiographic features
and pain in knee osteoarthritis (OA) case ascertainment. Methods A cross‐sectional study …

Objective To develop and validate a prognostic model for incident knee osteoarthritis (KOA)
in a general population and determine the value of different risk factor groups to prediction …
