ocrAssociation of metabolic syndrome with knee and hand osteoarthritis: A community-based study of women

摘要

Objective: It is unclear whether the association between osteoarthritis (OA) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) varies with the site of the affected joint and the presence of pain. Our aim was to describe the association between MetS and radiographic OA (ROA) affecting the knee or the hand in the presence or absence of concurrent joint pain.
