Serum carotenoids and radiographic knee osteoarthritis: the Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project.
OBJECTIVE Antioxidant intake has been associated with less progression of radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA), but studies of carotenoid biomarkers and OA have not been done. We examined associations between serum concentrations of nine naturally occurring carotenoids and radiographic knee OA. DESIGN The study design was matched case-control. Sera were analysed by high-performance liquid ch...
متن کاملA case-control study of serum tocopherol levels and the alpha- to gamma-tocopherol ratio in radiographic knee osteoarthritis: the Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project.
Tocopherols are lipid-soluble antioxidants that may protect against some conditions of aging. The authors examined associations between radiographic knee osteoarthritis and serum levels of alpha-, delta-, and gamma-tocopherol and the alpha:gamma-tocopherol ratio in African-American and White adults from the Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project (North Carolina, 1991-1997). Two hundred cases wi...

متن کاملLimited educational attainment and radiographic and symptomatic knee osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional analysis using data from the Johnston County (North Carolina) Osteoarthritis Project
INTRODUCTION Applying a cross-sectional analysis to a sample of 2,627 African-American and Caucasian adults aged > or = 45 years from the Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project, we studied the association between educational attainment and prevalence of radiographic knee osteoarthritis and symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. METHODS Age- and race-adjusted associations between education and osteo...
متن کاملWhole blood lead levels are associated with radiographic and symptomatic knee osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional analysis in the Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project
INTRODUCTION Lead (Pb) is known to affect bone, and recent evidence suggests that it has effects on cartilage as well. As osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent disease affecting bone and cartilage, we undertook the present analysis to determine whether whole blood Pb levels are associated with radiographic and symptomatic OA (rOA and sxOA, respectively) of the knee. METHODS The analysis w...
