Segal NA et al. – Thigh muscle strength does not appear to predict incident radiographic OA, but does seem to predict incident symptomatic knee OA.
Methods- 1,617 participants (2,519 knees) who, at the baseline visit did not have radiographic tibiofemoral OA and 2,078 participants (3,392 knees) who did not have symptomatic whole knee OA
- Neither knee extensor strength nor the H:Q ratio was predictive of incident radiographic tibiofemoral OA
- Compared with the lowest tertile, the highest tertile of knee extensor strength protected against development of incident symptomatic whole knee OA in both sexes
- H:Q ratio was not predictive of incident symptomatic whole knee OA in either sex
