Funded Activity Summary

The associations between MRI-assessed knee structural changes and radiographic changes over 5 years in older people will be determined. The effects of physical activity in adults and childhood, and the roles of inflammation will be described. The study represents a cost-effective comprehensive approach to osteoarthritis, a major public health problem, and is a natural progression of previous work that supports the objectives of the Bone and Joint Decade and addresses a national health priority.
