Osteoarthritis and Cartilage , 08/27/09
Sowers MF et al. – Multiple, biennial measures of COMP or CTX-II taken over a 10 y period were predictive of subsequent OAK and knee stiffness.
Methods- Longitudinal, population-based cohort study with 11 annual visits
- 72 subjects
- Knee pain and stiffness were assessed by interview
- COMP and CTX-II were assayed in serum and urine samples
- Prevalence of OAK was 50%
- Upward trajectories of COMP and CTX-II were associated with increased OAK severity and body size
- COMP trajectories were associated with pain and stiffness, but not functioning
- CTX-II trajectories were associated with stiffness scores, but not knee pain or functioning scores
