The association of body mass index and osteoarthritis of the knee joint: an examination of genetic and environmental influences.

Arthritis and rheumatism - 1 Apr 2003

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To examine the genetic and environmental influences on the known association between body mass index (BMI) and knee osteoarthritis (OA), using adult twin data. METHODS: Bilateral knee radiographs were obtained from 785 pairs of healthy female twins (mean age 54.5 +/- 7.8 years) from the St. Thomas' Hospital Adult Twin Registry (261 monozygotic [MZ] and 524 dizygotic [DZ] twin pairs). Tibiofemoral knee...
