Developing an 8-Week, Tele-Education Weight Control and Exercise Programme, and Evaluating Its Effects on Weight and Pain Reduction in Patients With Obesity and Knee Osteoarthritis: A Double-Blinded Randomised Clinical Trial. Musculoskeletal Care 2024; 22:e1926. [PMID: 39123329 DOI: 10.1002/msc.1926] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability among the elderly and is often exacerbated by obesity. Research supports weight loss and exercise therapy as key strategies for managing knee OA-related disability. Concurrently, telemedicine is becoming a popular healthcare approach. This study aimed to develop and evaluate an 8-week tele-education programme's impact on weight control and knee OA outcomes. METHODS/DESIGN Participants with knee OA and obesity were included. Baseline data on pain (VAS index), physical activity (GPAQ questionnaire), and quality of life (EQ5D and KOOS questionnaires) were collected. Performance tests, including the 30-second Chair Stand test (30CST) and the Timed Up-and-Go test (TUG), were recorded. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: a control group receiving oral advice on diet and exercise, and an intervention group receiving educational videos on nutrition, lifestyle changes, physical activity, individualised exercises, and psychosocial support. Evaluations were repeated after 8 weeks. RESULTS Data from 25 of 30 participants were analysed. In the intervention group, body composition, waist, and abdominal circumference decreased significantly (p < 0.05). The KOOS questionnaire showed significant improvements in pain, activity, and daily tasks (p = 0.00). The EQ5D questionnaire and health satisfaction also showed positive results within the intervention group (p = 0.00) and between groups (p = 0.008). The pain index improved significantly within (p = 0.00) and between groups (p = 0.02). Functional test results were significant within the intervention group (p = 0.00) and between groups (p = 0.017 for 30CST and p = 0.004 for TUG). CONCLUSION An 8-week tele-education programme for weight control and exercise therapy in knee OA patients significantly improved body composition, quality of life, and functional performance. Given the costs of obesity and knee OA on both people and the health system, tele-education can be a cost-effective treatment strategy.

Abstract
Given the high and growing prevalence of obesity among adults in the United States, obesity treatment and prevention are important topics in biomedical and public health research. Although researchers recognize the significance of this problem, much remains unknown about safe and effective prevention and treatment of obesity in adults. In response to the worsening obesity epidemic and the many unknowns regarding the disease, a group of key scientific and program staff members of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other federal and non-government agencies gathered virtually in September 2021 to discuss the current state of obesity research, research gaps, and opportunities for future research in adult obesity prevention and treatment. The current article synthesizes presentations given by attendees and shares their organizations' current initiatives and identified gaps and opportunities. By integrating the information discussed in the meeting and current initiatives, we identify potential targets and overlapping priorities for future research, including health equity and disparities in obesity, the heterogeneity of obesity, and the use of technological and innovative approaches in interventions.

Abstract
Obesity has a pivotal and multifaceted role in pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA), extending beyond the mechanistic influence of BMI. It exerts its effects both directly and indirectly through various modifiable risk factors associated with OA-related pain. Adipose tissue dysfunction is highly involved in OA-related pain through local and systemic inflammation, immune dysfunction, and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and adipokines. Adipose tissue dysfunction is intricately connected with metabolic syndrome, which independently exerts specific effects on OA-related pain, distinct from its association with BMI. The interplay among obesity, adipose tissue dysfunction and metabolic syndrome influences OA-related pain through diverse pain mechanisms, including nociceptive pain, peripheral sensitization and central sensitization. These complex interactions contribute to the heightened pain experience observed in individuals with OA and obesity. In addition, pain management strategies are less efficient in individuals with obesity. Importantly, therapeutic interventions targeting obesity and metabolic syndrome hold promise in managing OA-related pain. A deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between obesity, metabolic syndrome and OA-related pain is crucial and could have important implications for improving pain management and developing innovative therapeutic options in OA.

Abstract
Obesity is a disease that is assuming pandemic proportions in recent decades. With the advancement of medicine and increased access to care, average survival has increased, resulting in a larger number of elderly people. As a result, the amount of elderly people living with obesity is increasing, and the morbidity and impact of obesity on ageing implies severe limitations for these people. The link between obesity and ageing is not only epidemiological, but also strictly pathophysiological. Obesity accelerates the ageing process and ageing is characterised by pathophysiological mechanisms shared by obesity itself. Some examples of alterations shared by ageing and obesity are metabolic changes, sarcopenia and reduced functional capacity related to both loss of muscle strength and reduced cardiorespiratory fitness, as well as a general reduction in the perception of quality of life. The specific ability to antagonize these mechanisms through non-pharmacological treatment based on nutrition and exercise has always been one of the focal points of the international literature. Therefore, this review provides the state of the art on scientific knowledge regarding the main effects of an adequate nutritional plan and an individualised exercise prescription on the general health of elderly with obesity. In particular, this paper addresses the effect of nutrition and physical exercise on pathophysiological changes peculiar of ageing and obesity, providing also the scientific rational for nutritional and exercise prescription in the population.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Our aim was to investigate relative contributions of central and peripheral mechanisms to knee osteoarthritis (OA) diagnosis and their independent causal association with knee OA. We performed longitudinal analysis using data from UK-Biobank participants. Knee OA was defined using International Classification of Diseases manual 10 codes from participants' hospital records. Central mechanisms were proxied using multisite chronic pain (MCP) and peripheral mechanisms using body mass index (BMI). Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated, and proportional risk contribution (PRC) was estimated from receiver-operator-characteristic (ROC) analysis. To estimate the causal effects, we performed 2-sample multivariable Mendelian Randomisation (MR) analysis. We selected genetic instruments from the largest Genome Wide Association Study of BMI (N = 806,834) and MCP (N = 387,649) and estimated the instruments genetic associations with knee OA in the largest available dataset (62,497 cases and 333,557 control subjects). The multivariable MR was performed using modified inverse-variance weighting methods. Of the 203,410 participants, 6% developed knee OA. Both MCP (OR 1.23, 95% CI; 1.21-1.24) and BMI (1.10, 95% CI; 1.10-1.11) were associated with knee OA diagnosis. The PRC was 6.9% (95% CI; 6.7%-7.1%) for MCP and 21.9% (95% CI; 21.4%-22.5%) for BMI; the combined PRC was 38.8% (95% CI; 37.9%-39.8%). Body mass index and MCP had independent causal effects on knee OA (OR 1.76 [95% CI, 1.64-1.88] and 1.83 [95% CI, 1.54-2.16] per unit change, respectively). In conclusion, peripheral risk factors (eg, BMI) contribute more to the development of knee OA than central risk factors (eg, MCP). Peripheral and central factors are independently causal on knee OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical and cost effectiveness of the Collaborative Model of Care between Orthopaedics and Allied Healthcare Professionals (CONNACT), a community-based, stratified, multidisciplinary intervention consisting of exercise, education, psychological and nutrition delivered through a chronic care model to usual hospital care in adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS Pragmatic, parallel-arm, single-blinded superiority RCT trial. Community-dwelling, ambulant adults with knee OA (Kellgren-Lawrence grade > 1; Knee Injury and OA Outcome Score (KOOS4) ≤75) were enrolled. Primary outcome was KOOS4 at 12-months; secondary outcomes included: quality of life, physical performance measures, symptom satisfaction, psychological outcomes, dietary habits, and global perceived effect. Intention-to-treat analysis using generalized linear model (GLM) and regression modeling were conducted. Economic evaluation through a societal approach was embedded. RESULTS 110 participants (55 control, 55 intervention) were randomized. No between-group difference found for the primary outcome (MD [95%CI]: -1.86 [-9.11. 5.38]), although both groups demonstrated within-group improvement over 12-months. Among the secondary outcomes, the CONNACT group demonstrated superior dietary change (12 months) and physical performance measures (3 months), and global perceived effect (6 months). While there was no between-group difference in total cost, significant productivity gains (reduced indirect cost) were seen in the CONNACT group. CONCLUSION CONNACT was not superior to usual care at 1 year. Further efforts are needed to understand the underlying contextual and implementation factors in order to further improve and refine such community-based, stratified care models moving forward.

Effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy on functional ability in grade IV knee osteoarthritis - a randomized controlled trial. Sci Rep 2024; 14:16530. [PMID: 39020015 PMCID: PMC11254909 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-67511-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive physical therapy intervention that has emerged in the recent past to address the upswing of osteoarthritis (OA). However, insufficient evidence is present to prove the efficacy of ESWT on grade IV knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The present study aimed to examine the effects of ESWT on functional ability in patients suffering from grade IV KOA. Thirty volunteers aged 45-60 years with grade IV primary KOA diagnosed by an orthopaedic surgeon based on the Kellgren-Lawrence score participated in the study. The participants were equally and randomly divided into two groups (i.e. experimental and control), with 15 participants in each group. The participants in the control group performed conventional physiotherapy (CPT) that included ultrasound therapy, isometric quadriceps, SLR and isometric hip adductor strengthening exercises. The participants in the experimental group received ESWT in addition to CPT. Lower extremity functional scale (LEFS) score was measured before and after the four weeks of intervention. In both groups, a statistically significant (p = 0.001) improvement in LEFS was observed. In the experimental groups, it improved by 81.92% and in the control groups by 48.15%. A statistically significant (p < 0.001) difference was observed in LEFS post-intervention values between both groups. As demonstrated by our trial results, the addition of ESWT to the CPT program will yield beneficial results in ameliorating the functional disability in patients with primary KOA (grade IV). Further studies are needed to confirm and apply these findings to a larger cohort.

BACKGROUND Intra-articular glucocorticoid injection (IAGI) is widely used for treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA) flares. Response rates are generally around 70%. Several studies have tried to identify predictors of good response, but response to ultrasound (US)-guided injection has not yet been investigated. This study aimed to identify the predictors of response to IAGI performed under US guidance in patients with primary knee OA. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 116 patients (116 knees) presenting with unilateral or bilateral primary knee OA were enrolled for this prospective single-center study. All were aged >40 years and met the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for knee OA. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were collected, injection was performed using US guidance, and tolerance was assessed. The primary efficacy endpoint was ≥40% reduction in total WOMAC score (WOMAC40). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the predictors of response. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 64.2 ± 9.4 years and mean BMI was 29.9 ± 3.8 kg/m2. Total WOMAC40 response rate was 61.2%. In multivariate analysis, the independent predictors of response were BMI.

Cost-Effectiveness of Community-Based Diet and Exercise for Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis and Obesity or Overweight. Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 2024; 76:1018-1027. [PMID: 38450873 DOI: 10.1002/acr.25323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obesity exacerbates pain and functional limitation in persons with knee osteoarthritis (OA). In the Weight Loss and Exercise for Communities with Arthritis in North Carolina (WE-CAN) study, a community-based diet and exercise (D + E) intervention led to an additional 6 kg weight loss and 20% greater pain relief in persons with knee OA and body mass index (BMI) >27 kg/m2 relative to a group-based health education (HE) intervention. We sought to determine the incremental cost-effectiveness of the usual care (UC), UC + HE, and UC + (D + E) programs, comparing each strategy with the "next-best" strategy ranked by increasing lifetime cost. METHODS We used the Osteoarthritis Policy Model to project long-term clinical and economic benefits of the WE-CAN interventions. We considered three strategies: UC, UC + HE, and UC + (D + E). We derived cohort characteristics, weight, and pain reduction from the WE-CAN trial. Our outcomes included quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), cost, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs). RESULTS In a cohort with mean age 65 years, BMI 37 kg/m2, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index pain score 38 (scale 0-100, 100 = worst), UC leads to 9.36 QALYs/person, compared with 9.44 QALYs for UC + HE and 9.49 QALYS for UC + (D + E). The corresponding lifetime costs are $147,102, $148,139, and $151,478. From the societal perspective, UC + HE leads to an ICER of $12,700/QALY; adding D + E to UC leads to an ICER of $61,700/QALY. CONCLUSION The community-based D + E program for persons with knee OA and BMI >27kg/m2 could be cost-effective for willingness-to-pay thresholds greater than $62,000/QALY. These findings suggest that incorporation of community-based D + E programs into OA care may be beneficial for public health.

Qi Q, Cox A, McNeil S, Sumithran P. Obesity medications: A narrative review of current and emerging agents. OSTEOARTHRITIS AND CARTILAGE OPEN 2024; 6:100472. [PMID: 38737985 PMCID: PMC11088184 DOI: 10.1016/j.ocarto.2024.100472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this narrative review is to synthesize the available data describing the efficacy and safety of medications approved for obesity management and to provide an overview of upcoming agents in development. A literature search of PubMed, Medline, and Embase databases identified relevant articles describing medications approved in the U.S., Australia, U.K., and/or Europe. Papers were selected based on relevance and originality, with phase 3 clinical trials and meta-analyses preferentially included. Six medications are widely approved for long-term weight management in conjunction with lifestyle interventions in people with body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2 or BMI ≥27 kg/m2 and at least one medical condition related to excess weight. Compared with lifestyle interventions alone, all medications approved for obesity management are more effective for long-term weight loss and improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors. Older obesity medications are associated with mean weight losses in the range of 5-10%. The new generation of agents, including the injectable incretin analogues semaglutide and tirzepatide are associated with sustained mean weight reductions of 15-20%, along with substantial benefits on a range of health outcomes. Several novel agents are under development, with multi-hormone receptor agonists and oral formulations likely to become available in the coming years. As effective treatment options expand, cost and availability will need to be addressed to enable equitable access to treatment. Other important challenges for clinical practice and research include the need for long-term strategies to prevent and manage weight regain and loss of lean muscle and bone mineral density.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is an age-related joint disease characterized by progressive heterogeneous changes in articular cartilage and subchondral bone. Osteoclast stimulating factor 1 (OSTF1) is a small intracellular protein involved in bone formation and bone resorption. However, to our best knowledge, its role in OA is still unclear. In this study, an OA rat model was established by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ALCT). OSTF1 was increased in the cartilage tissues of OA patients and OA rats. Next, the role of OSTF1 in interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced chondrocyte apoptosis, inflammation and extracellular matrix degradation was explored through loss of function assays. Strikingly, OSTF1 knockdown relieved IL-1β-induced chondrocyte apoptosis, with decreased cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved PARP levels. Besides, OSTF1 knockdown restrained IL-1β-induced inflammation and degradation of extracellular matrix of chondrocytes. Subsequently, the molecular mechanism of OSTF1 was explored. Transcriptomic analysis revealed the potential gene network map regulated by OSTF1 knockdown. Some differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were involved in regulating the NF-κB signaling pathway. Furthermore, our results demonstrated that OSTF1 knockdown inhibited IL-1β-activated the NF-κB signaling pathway. Ultimately, we analyzed the potential gene network map regulated by OSTF1 and its downstream NF-κB. Bioinformatics analysis showed that 18 DEGs in OSTF1-silenced chondrocytes overlapped with the NF-κB downstream targets. Collectively, our findings indicate that OSTF1 knockdown mitigates IL-1β-induced chondrocyte injury via inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine if physiotherapists can deliver a clinically effective very low energy diet (VLED) supplementary to exercise in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and overweight or obesity. METHODS 88 participants with knee OA and body mass index (BMI) >27 kg/m2 were randomised to either intervention (n=42: VLED including two daily meal replacement products supplementary to control) or control (n=46: exercise). Both interventions were delivered by unblinded physiotherapists via six videoconference sessions over 6 months. The primary outcome was the percentage change in body weight at 6 months, measured by a blinded assessor. Secondary outcomes included BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, self-reported measures of pain, function, satisfaction and perceived global change, and physical performance tests. RESULTS The intervention group lost a mean (SD) of 8.1% (5.2) body weight compared with 1.0% (3.2) in the control group (mean (95% CI) between-group difference 7.2% (95% CI 5.1 to 9.3), p<0.001), with significantly lower BMI and waist circumference compared with control group at follow-up. 76% of participants in the intervention group achieved ≥5% body weight loss and 37% acheived ≥10%, compared with 12% and 0%, respectively, in the control group. More participants in the intervention group (27/38 (71.1%)) reported global knee improvement than in the control group (20/42 (47.6%)) (p=0.02). There were no between-group differences in any other secondary outcomes. No serious adverse events were reported. CONCLUSION A VLED delivered by physiotherapists achieved clinically relevant weight loss and was safe for people with knee OA who were overweight or obese. The results have potential implications for future service models of care for OA and obesity.

Abstract
Low back and knee pain, as major symptoms and early signs of osteoarthritis, have restricted healthy life expectancy, and numerous guidelines have recommended therapeutic exercise as the first-line treatment for chronic pain. Proportions of medical and exercise consultation use for those pain have been unclear, and these may change in the future. We performed a cross-sectional study of 2,954 persons aged over 30 years in 2017 as a part of the Circulatory Risk in Communities Study. A generalized linear model with logit link and 11-year age-group moving averages were used to estimate sex- and age-specific average proportions of lifetime pain, chronic pain, and dysfunctional chronic pain of the low back and knee, and history of medical and exercise consultation use. The medical consultation use increased in the order of lifetime pain, chronic pain, and dysfunctional chronic pain, reaching 69.1 % [65.2, 72.8] in women and 74.9 % [70.3, 79.0] in men for chronic low back pain, and 70.3 % [66.1, 74.2] in women and 55.6 % [49.3, 61.7] in men for chronic knee pain. On the other hand, the exercise consultation use accounted for 36.5 % [32.6, 40.6] in women and 28.8 % [24.4, 33.5] in men for chronic low back pain, and 40.8 % [36.5, 45.2] in women and 20.6 % [16.0, 26.0] in men for chronic knee pain. This survey revealed the differences in the multilayer proportions of medical and exercise consultation use for low back and knee pain in the cardiovascular mass screening, suggesting exercise consultation was less often provided compared to medical consultation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our aim was to define the association of weight change (weight loss or weight gain) with the incidence and progression of hand osteoarthritis (OA), assessed either by radiography or by pain, using data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative. METHODS Among the 4,796 participants, we selected 4,598 participants, excluding those with cancer or rheumatoid arthritis or a body mass index under 18.5 kg/m2. We investigated the association of weight change with incidence and progression of radiographic hand OA and the development and resolution of hand pain. Using multivariable logistic regression, we investigated the association of weight change from baseline to the 4-year follow-up with the incidence and progression of radiographic hand OA at the 4-year follow-up. Additionally, multivariable repeated-measure mixed-effects logistic regression analyzed the association of weight change with the development and resolution of hand pain across 2-year, 4-year, 6-year, and 8-year follow-ups. RESULTS No statistically significant associations were observed between weight change and the investigated outcomes. Specifically, for each 5% weight loss, the odds ratios for the incidence and progression of radiographic hand OA were 0.90 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.67-1.23) and 0.92 (95% CI 0.84-1.00), respectively. Similarly, for each 5% weight loss, the odds ratios for the development and resolution of hand pain at the 8-year follow-up were 1.00 (95% CI 0.92-1.09) and 1.07 (95% CI 0.91-1.25), respectively. CONCLUSION Our study found no evidence of an association between weight change and the odds of incidence or progression of radiographic hand OA over 4 years, nor the development or resolution of hand pain over 8 years.

Abstract
Organic fluorescent materials (OFMs) play a crucial role in the development of biosensors, enabling the extraction of biochemical information within cells and organisms, extending to the human body. Concurrently, OFM biosensors contribute significantly to the progress of modern medical and biological research. However, the practical applications of OFM biosensors face challenges, including issues related to low resolution, dispersivity, and stability. To overcome these challenges, scientists have introduced interactive elements to enhance the order of OFMs. Highly-ordered assembled OFMs represent a novel material type applied to biosensors. In comparison to conventional fluorescent materials, highly-ordered assembled OFMs typically exhibit robust anti-diffusion properties, high imaging contrast, and excellent stability. This approach has emerged as a promising method for effectively tracking bio-signals, particularly in the non-invasive monitoring of chronic diseases. This review introduces several highly-ordered assembled OFMs used in biosensors and also discusses various interactions that are responsible for their assembly, such as hydrogen bonding, π-π interaction, dipole-dipole interaction, and ion electrostatic interaction. Furthermore, it delves into the various applications of these biosensors while addressing the drawbacks that currently limit their commercial application. This review aims to provide a theoretical foundation for designing high-performance, highly-ordered assembled OFM biosensors suitable for practical applications. Additionally, it sheds light on the evolving trends in OFM biosensors and their application fields, offering valuable insights into the future of this dynamic research area.

The osteoarthritis prevention study (TOPS) - A randomized controlled trial of diet and exercise to prevent Knee Osteoarthritis: Design and rationale. OSTEOARTHRITIS AND CARTILAGE OPEN 2024; 6:100418.

Abstract
Background Osteoarthritis (OA), the leading cause of disability among adults, has no cure and is associated with significant comorbidities. The premise of this randomized clinical trial is that, in a population at risk, a 48-month program of dietary weight loss and exercise will result in less incident structural knee OA compared to control. Methods/design The Osteoarthritis Prevention Study (TOPS) is a Phase III, assessor-blinded, 48-month, parallel 2 arm, multicenter randomized clinical trial designed to reduce the incidence of structural knee OA. The study objective is to assess the effects of a dietary weight loss, exercise, and weight-loss maintenance program in preventing the development of structural knee OA in females at risk for the disease. TOPS will recruit 1230 ambulatory, community dwelling females with obesity (Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2) and aged ≥50 years with no radiographic (Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≤1) and no magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evidence of OA in the eligible knee, with no or infrequent knee pain. Incident structural knee OA (defined as tibiofemoral and/or patellofemoral OA on MRI) assessed at 48-months from intervention initiation using the MRI Osteoarthritis Knee Score (MOAKS) is the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include knee pain, 6-min walk distance, health-related quality of life, knee joint loading during gait, inflammatory biomarkers, and self-efficacy. Cost effectiveness and budgetary impact analyses will determine the value and affordability of this intervention. Discussion This study will assess the efficacy and cost effectiveness of a dietary weight loss, exercise, and weight-loss maintenance program designed to reduce incident knee OA.

Abstract
Physical activity (PA) and weight management are critical components of an effective knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) management plan, yet most people with OA remain insufficiently active and/or overweight. Clinicians and their care teams play an important role in educating patients with OA about PA and weight management, eliciting patient motivation to engage in these strategies, and referring patients to appropriate self-management interventions. The purpose of this review is to educate clinicians about the current public health and clinical OA guidelines for PA and weight management and highlight a variety of evidence-based self-management interventions available in community and clinical settings and online.

Abstract
Objectives This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the lower limb rehabilitation protocol (LLRP) using mobile health (mHealth) on quality of life (QoL), functional strength, and functional capacity among knee OA patients who were overweight and obese. Patients and methods Between August 2019 and November 2020, a total of 96 patients (42 males, 54 females; mean age; 52.9±4.8 years; range, 40 to 60 years) were randomized into either the rehabilitation group with mobile health (RGw-mHealth) receiving reminders by using mHealth to carry on the strengthening exercises of LLRP and instructions of daily care (IDC), the rehabilitation group without mobile health (RGwo-mHealth) following the strengthening exercises of LLRP and instructions of daily care (IDC) and control group (CG) only following the IDC for duration of 12 weeks. The reminders for using mHealth were provided two times a day for three days a week. Primary outcome measures were QoL assessed by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index summary score, and functional strength by five-repetition sit-to-stand test. Secondary outcome measure was functional capacity assessed by the Gait Speed Test. The assessments of QoL, functional strength, and functional capacity were taken at baseline and post-test after 12 weeks of intervention. Results After 12 weeks of intervention, the patients in all three groups had a statistically significant improvement in QoL within groups (p<0.05). Patients in the RGw-mHealth and RGwo-mHealth had a statistically significant improvement in functional strength and walking gait speed within groups (p<0.05). The pairwise between-group comparisons (Bonferroni post-hoc test) of the mean changes in QoL, functional strength, and functional capacity at post-test assessments revealed that patients in the RGw-mHealth had a statistically significant greater mean change in QoL, functional strength and functional capacity relative to both the RGwo-mHealth and CG (p<0.001). Conclusion The improvement in QoL, functional strength, and functional capacity was greater among patients in the RGw-mHealth compared to the RGwo-mHealth or CG.

Abstract
Developed in the United States (US), Walk With Ease (WWE) is a popular evidence-based, 6-week community walking programme for adults with arthritis, delivered in either an instructor-led or self-directed format. While WWE has expanded into communities across the USA, it is relatively unknown in other countries across the globe. This study, in collaboration with community and patient partners, aimed to examine the relevance, acceptability and feasibility of introducing WWE into a UK context. After initial cultural adaptation, participants were recruited into the study. Eligible (≥18 years, doctor diagnosed arthritis (confirmed or self-report), self-reported joint symptoms in last 30 days, BMI ≥25 kg/m2, and <150 min/week of moderate/vigorous PA) and consented participants were randomized into two groups: WWE programme or usual care. A mixed-methods analysis approach integrated quantitative data (physical performance assessment; baseline and post-six week programme questionnaire) and qualitative data (narrative interviews exploring participants' pre- and post-WWE experiences and stakeholders' perceptions). Of 149 participants, the majority were women (70%) aged ≥60 years (76%). Among the 97 receiving the programme, 52 chose instructor-led; 45 chose self-directed. Participants found WWE relevant and acceptable-99% indicating they would recommend WWE to family/friends. Within both WWE formats, mixed differences representing improvement were observed at 6 weeks from baseline for physical performance and arthritis symptoms. Emergent themes included improved motivation, health, and social well-being. WWE is a relevant and acceptable walking programme with scope for wider implementation to support UK health and well-being policy strategies.

Abstract
Deep learning (DL) is one of the most exciting new areas in medical imaging. This article will provide a review of current applications of DL in osteoarthritis (OA) imaging, including methods used for cartilage lesion detection, OA diagnosis, cartilage segmentation, and OA risk assessment. DL techniques have been shown to have similar diagnostic performance as human readers for detecting and grading cartilage lesions within the knee on MRI. A variety of DL methods have been developed for detecting and grading the severity of knee OA and various features of knee OA on X-rays using standardized classification systems with diagnostic performance similar to human readers. Multiple DL approaches have been described for fully automated segmentation of cartilage and other knee tissues and have achieved higher segmentation accuracy than currently used methods with substantial reductions in segmentation times. Various DL models analyzing baseline X-rays and MRI have been developed for OA risk assessment. These models have shown high diagnostic performance for predicting a wide variety of OA outcomes, including the incidence and progression of radiographic knee OA, the presence and progression of knee pain, and future total knee replacement. The preliminary results of DL applications in OA imaging have been encouraging. However, many DL techniques require further technical refinement to maximize diagnostic performance. Furthermore, the generalizability of DL approaches needs to be further investigated in prospective studies using large image datasets acquired at different institutions with different imaging hardware before they can be implemented in clinical practice and research studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines recommend exercise for the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA), however, recently it has been suggested that including additional lifestyle modifications with a traditional exercise program may elicit greater benefits than exercise alone. OBJECTIVES To investigate the influence of the addition of lifestyle modifications to a traditional exercise program, with respect to functional outcomes and quality of life among individuals with knee OA. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS Four databases were searched to identify randomised controlled trials comparing an exercise program, which included the addition of lifestyle modifications, to an exercise program alone in individuals with knee OA. Methodological quality of included studies was assessed via the PEDro scale. Results synthesis through meta-analysis using a random effects model was conducted to determine the pooled effect on eligible outcomes and a GRADE approach was utilised to rate the certainty of evidence. RESULTS Meta-analysis of seven studies showed the inclusion of lifestyle modifications to an exercise program can further decrease pain intensity (SMD -0.68 [95% CI -1.26 to -0.10]), improve joint stiffness (MD -0.69 [95% CI -1.21, -0.17]) and increase physical function (MD -1.26 s ([95% CI -1.34, -1.17]) at six-months. Individual results showed improvements in quality of life with the addition of lifestyle modifications, however, this was not demonstrated through meta-analysis. CONCLUSION This systematic review supports the inclusion of additional lifestyle modifications to a traditional exercise program, for pain intensity, joint stiffness and physical function for individuals with knee OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of the "Plants for Joints" multidisciplinary lifestyle program in patients with metabolic syndrome-associated osteoarthritis (MSOA). DESIGN Patients with hip or knee MSOA were randomized to the intervention or control group. The intervention group followed a 16-week program in addition to usual care based on a whole food plant-based diet, physical activity, and stress management. The control group received usual care. The patient-reported Western Ontario and McMasters Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) total score (range 0-96) was the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included other patient-reported, anthropometric, and metabolic measures. An intention-to-treat analysis with a linear-mixed model adjusted for baseline values was used to analyze between-group differences. RESULTS Of the 66 people randomized, 64 completed the study. Participants (84% female) had a mean (SD) age of 63 (6) years and body mass index of 33 (5) kg/m2. After 16 weeks, the intervention group (n = 32) had a mean 11-point larger improvement in WOMAC-score (95% CI 6-16; p = 0.0001) compared to the control group. The intervention group also lost more weight (-5 kg), fat mass (-4 kg), and waist circumference (-6 cm) compared to the control group. Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) fatigue, pain interference, C-reactive protein, hemoglobin A1c, fasting glucose, and low-density lipoproteins improved in the intervention versus the control group, while other PROMIS measures, blood pressure, high-density lipoproteins, and triglycerides did not differ significantly between the groups. CONCLUSION The "Plants for Joints" lifestyle program reduced stiffness, relieved pain, and improved physical function in people with hip or knee MSOA compared to usual care.

Abstract
Human and veterinary medicine have historically presented many medical areas of potential synergy and convergence. Mechanical osteoarthritis (MOA) is characterized by a gradual complex imbalance between cartilage production, loss, and derangement. Any joint instability that results in an abnormal overload of the joint surface can trigger MOA. As MOA has a prevailing mechanical aetiology, treatment effectiveness can only be accomplished if altered joint mechanics and mechanosensitive pathways are normalized and restored. Otherwise, the inflammatory cascade of osteoarthritis will be initiated, and the changes may become irreversible. The management of the disease using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, physical therapy, diet changes, or nutraceuticals is conservative and less effective. MOA is a determinant factor for the development of hip dysplasia in both humans and dogs. Hip dysplasia is a hereditary disease with a high incidence and, therefore, of great clinical importance due to the associated discomfort and significant functional limitations. Furthermore, on account of analogous human and canine hip dysplasia disease and under the One Medicine concept, unifying veterinary and human research could improve the well-being and health of both species, increasing the acknowledgement of shared diseases. Great success has been accomplished in humans regarding preventive conservative management of hip dysplasia and following One Medicine concept, similar measures would benefit dogs. Moreover, animal models have long been used to better understand the different diseases' mechanisms. Current research in animal models was addressed and the role of rabbit models in pathophysiologic studies and of the dog as a spontaneous animal model were highlighted, denoting the inexistence of rabbit functional models to investigate therapeutic approaches in hip MOA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Growing evidence supports an association between physical activity (PA) and the risk of osteoarthritis (OA), but this may be influenced by confounding and reverse causality. Therefore, we performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to reveal the causal relationship between PA and OA. METHODS MR was performed to explore the causation of PA and OA with genetic variants as instrumental variables. The genetic variants were derived from the summary statistics of a large genome-wide association study meta-analysis based on the European population (n = 661,399), including self-reported leisure screen time (LST) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and Arthritis Research UK Osteoarthritis Genetics Consortium cohorts (417,596, 393,873 and 403,124 for overall, hip and knee OA, respectively). The major MR analysis used in this work was the inverse variance weighted (IVW) approach, and sensitivity, pleiotropy, and heterogeneity studies were performed to evaluate the validity of the findings. RESULTS IVW estimates indicated that LST had a risk effect on overall OA (odds ratio (OR) = 1.309, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.198-1.430, P = 2.330 × 10-9), hip OA (OR = 1.132, 95% CI: 1.009-1.269, P = 0.034) and knee OA (OR = 1.435. 95% CI: 1.286-1.602, P = 1.225 × 10-10). In contrast, no causal relationship was found between MVPA and OA (overall OA: OR = 0.895, 95% CI: 0.664-1.205, P = 0.465; hip OA: OR = 1.189, 95% CI: 0.792-1.786, P = 0.404; knee OA: OR = 0.707, 95% CI: 0.490 -1.021, P = 0.064). In addition, we observed significant heterogeneity in instrumental variables, but no horizontal pleiotropy was detected. CONCLUSIONS Recent findings demonstrated a protective impact of reducing LST on OA, independent of MVPA. This provides valuable insights into the role of physical activity in OA and offers lifestyle recommendations, such as reducing recreational sedentary behaviors and promoting appropriate exercise, for individuals at risk of OA.

Rationale, design, and cohort characteristics of the Action for Health in Diabetes Aging study. ALZHEIMER'S & DEMENTIA (NEW YORK, N. Y.) 2023; 9:e12430. [PMID: 37901307 PMCID: PMC10600408 DOI: 10.1002/trc2.12430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetes and overweight/obesity are described as accelerating aging processes, yet many individuals with these conditions maintain high levels of cognitive and physical function and independence late into life. The Look AHEAD Aging study is designed to identify 20-year trajectories of behaviors, risk factors, and medical history associated with resilience against geriatric syndromes and aging-related cognitive and physical functional deficits among individuals with these conditions. METHODS Look AHEAD Aging extends follow-up of the cohort of the former 10-year Look AHEAD trial. The original cohort (N = 5145) was enrolled in 2001 to 2004 when participants were aged 45 to 76 years and randomly assigned to a multidomain intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) or a diabetes support and education (DSE) condition. The trial interventions ceased in 2012. Clinic-based follow-up continued through 2020. In 2021, the cohort was invited to enroll in Look AHEAD Aging, an additional 4-year telephone-based follow-up (every 6 months) enhanced with Medicare linkage. Standardized protocols assess multimorbidity, physical and cognitive function, health care utilization, and health-related quality of life. RESULTS Of the original N = 5145 Look AHEAD participants, N = 1552 active survivors agreed to participate in Look AHEAD Aging. At consent, the cohort's mean age was 76 (range 63 to 94) years and participants had been followed for a mean of 20 years. Of the original Look AHEAD enrollees, those who were younger, female, or with no history of cardiovascular disease were more likely to be represented in the Look AHEAD Aging cohort. Intervention groups were comparable with respect to age, diabetes duration, body mass index, insulin use, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive function. ILI participants had significantly lower deficit accumulation index scores. DISCUSSION By continuing the long-term follow-up of an extensively characterized cohort of older individuals with type 2 diabetes, Look AHEAD Aging is well positioned to identify factors associated with resilience against aging-related conditions.

'Obesity and arthritis' as the morbid duo: Designing and experimenting a novel strategy for weight reduction at a secondary care ayurveda -arthritis center. J Ayurveda Integr Med 2023; 14:100722. [PMID: 37244779 PMCID: PMC10692377 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaim.2023.100722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Revised: 04/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2023] [Indexed: 05/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Obesity has been a critical confounding factor in arthritis. Its impacts are seemingly more apparent in conditions like knee osteoarthritis but it affects the net outcome in almost every type of arthritis. Reduction of weight is the obvious first advice by a treating physician in such cases. In the absence of a clear roadmap however to reach the goal, It remains an unmet advise for most arthritis patients. Obesity combined with arthritis, becomes a morbid combination where addition of weight adds to intensity of arthritis and arthritis induced limitation of movements adds to the weight. Weight reduction is much tougher in arthritis due to the physical limitations. Noticing this gap of knowledge between desired and achieved, Ayurveda -arthritis treatment and advanced research center at Lucknow has designed a strategic plan as a real help to such people and executed it through the activities focusing upon educating the obese arthritis patients for causes and concerns of obesity in general and individualized management plan through an interactive workshop. A workshop of its own kind was conducted on 24 April 2022. 28 obese arthritics as participants had offered to understand the real need and feasibility of doing these strategically focused activities aiming at weight reduction. This has come up as a new opportunity of help to the obese arthritis patients by empowering them with practical knowledge and tools to reduce weight suiting to their individual capacities and needs. The feedback of the participants provided at the end of the workshop was highly encouraging and has shown that strategically focused activities to bridge the gaps in clinical practice are highly desired and useful.

Abstract
While there is some research investigating whole foods or diets that are easily understood and accessible to patients with osteoarthritis, specific nutrients or nutraceuticals are more commonly identified. Unfortunately, guidelines and evidence surrounding individual nutrients, extracts, and nutraceuticals are conflicting and are more difficult to interpret and implement for patients with osteoarthritis. The purpose of this umbrella review is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the existing evidence of whole foods and dietary patterns effects on osteoarthritis-related outcomes to inform evidence-based recommendations for healthcare professionals and identify areas where more research is warranted. A literature search identified relevant systematic reviews/meta-analyses using five databases from inception to May 2022. Five systematic reviews/meta-analyses were included in the current umbrella review. Most evidence supported the Mediterranean diet improving osteoarthritis-related outcomes (e.g., pain, stiffness, inflammation, biomarkers of cartilage degeneration). There was little to no evidence supporting the effects of fruits and herbs on osteoarthritis-related outcomes; however, there was some suggestion that specific foods could potentiate symptom improvement through antioxidative mechanisms. The overall lack of homogeneity between the studies limits the conclusions that can be made and highlights the need for quality research that can identify consumer-accessible foods to improve osteoarthritis-related symptoms.

Moderators of the effect of therapeutic exercise for knee and hip osteoarthritis: a systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis. THE LANCET. RHEUMATOLOGY 2023; 5:e386-e400. [PMID: 38251550 DOI: 10.1016/s2665-9913(23)00122-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many international clinical guidelines recommend therapeutic exercise as a core treatment for knee and hip osteoarthritis. We aimed to identify individual patient-level moderators of the effect of therapeutic exercise for reducing pain and improving physical function in people with knee osteoarthritis, hip osteoarthritis, or both. METHODS We did a systematic review and individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials comparing therapeutic exercise with non-exercise controls in people with knee osteoathritis, hip osteoarthritis, or both. We searched ten databases from March 1, 2012, to Feb 25, 2019, for randomised controlled trials comparing the effects of exercise with non-exercise or other exercise controls on pain and physical function outcomes among people with knee osteoarthritis, hip osteoarthritis, or both. IPD were requested from leads of all eligible randomised controlled trials. 12 potential moderators of interest were explored to ascertain whether they were associated with short-term (12 weeks), medium-term (6 months), and long-term (12 months) effects of exercise on self-reported pain and physical function, in comparison with non-exercise controls. Overall intervention effects were also summarised. This study is prospectively registered on PROSPERO (CRD42017054049). FINDINGS Of 91 eligible randomised controlled trials that compared exercise with non-exercise controls, IPD from 31 randomised controlled trials (n=4241 participants) were included in the meta-analysis. Randomised controlled trials included participants with knee osteoarthritis (18 [58%] of 31 trials), hip osteoarthritis (six [19%]), or both (seven [23%]) and tested heterogeneous exercise interventions versus heterogeneous non-exercise controls, with variable risk of bias. Summary meta-analysis results showed that, on average, compared with non-exercise controls, therapeutic exercise reduced pain on a standardised 0-100 scale (with 100 corresponding to worst pain), with a difference of -6·36 points (95% CI -8·45 to -4·27, borrowing of strength [BoS] 10·3%, between-study variance [τ2] 21·6) in the short term, -3·77 points (-5·97 to -1·57, BoS 30·0%, τ2 14·4) in the medium term, and -3·43 points (-5·18 to -1·69, BoS 31·7%, τ2 4·5) in the long term. Therapeutic exercise also improved physical function on a standardised 0-100 scale (with 100 corresponding to worst physical function), with a difference of -4·46 points in the short term (95% CI -5·95 to -2·98, BoS 10·5%, τ2 10·1), -2·71 points in the medium term (-4·63 to -0·78, BoS 33·6%, τ2 11·9), and -3·39 points in the long term (-4·97 to -1·81, BoS 34·1%, τ2 6·4). Baseline pain and physical function moderated the effect of exercise on pain and physical function outcomes. Those with higher self-reported pain and physical function scores at baseline (ie, poorer physical function) generally benefited more than those with lower self-reported pain and physical function scores at baseline, with the evidence most certain in the short term (12 weeks). INTERPRETATION There was evidence of a small, positive overall effect of therapeutic exercise on pain and physical function compared with non-exercise controls. However, this effect is of questionable clinical importance, particularly in the medium and long term. As individuals with higher pain severity and poorer physical function at baseline benefited more than those with lower pain severity and better physical function at baseline, targeting individuals with higher levels of osteoarthritis-related pain and disability for therapeutic exercise might be of merit.

Abstract
Objective The goal of this study was to see if there was a link between individuals who had a sleeve gastrectomy and their knee discomfort, as well as what factors could influence knee pain after a sleeve gastrectomy. Materials and Methods The general population of Saudi Arabia was studied in this cross-sectional survey, which took place from August 2021 to February 2022. Only people who had had a sleeve gastrectomy and were experiencing knee discomfort were included in the research. Results The results revealed that bariatric surgery had improved knee pain status in most of the participants (76%) while (12.1%) complained that the pain worsened after the surgery. The results also showed that nearly half of our participants (49.8%) that complain of knee pain have lost more than 35 kg after bariatric surgery, which illustrates the impact of a number of kilograms (kg) lost after bariatric surgery. Only (12.8%) of the participants considered physiotherapy as an intervention for their knee pain. Also, the results showed that severe pain was considerably more prevalent in the older age group and those with concomitant chronic disease. Conclusions Our data revealed that a small percentage of participants had worsening knee discomfort, which might be connected to inactivity following sleeve gastrectomy surgery. As a result, we urge that further clinical studies be conducted to learn more about the exacerbation of knee pain after a gastrectomy.

Abstract
Purpose Clinical treatment of knee osteoarthritis has gained great interest, and numerous clinical studies have been reported. Few studies have described the detailed characterizations of clinical trials on knee osteoarthritis. This study is to identify, visualize, and characterize the clinical trials in knee osteoarthritis research. Design and Methods Articles published in recent two decades were extracted from the Web of Science core collection database using a query based on MeSH terms and topics of knee osteoarthritis and clinical trial. Basic characteristics of publications were analyzed based on the publication year, authors, institutions, counties, and keywords covered in the article. CiteSpace and VOS viewer were used for data visualization. The data were retrieved on May 28, 2022. Results A total of 1972 trials on knee osteoarthritis were identified. The number of publications has experienced rapid growth in the past two decades. America, England, and China had strong contributions in publication. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases and American Journal of Sports Medicine were highly cited and bellwether journals. Clustering mapping of the collaborative network, co-citation, and co-occurrence analyses showed that the research hotspots are mainly focused on disease-modifying medications, intra-articular injections, physical therapy for symptom control, lifestyle intervention, Chinese medicine treatment, and knee replacement. Conclusion Clinical treatments of knee OA are evolving. Pharmacologic therapy, intra-articular therapy, nonpharmacologic therapy including exercise or diet, self-management programs, Chinese medicine treatment, and knee replacement were highly represented in clinical trials of knee OA. Adjustment of combination therapy may be the next study focus in the future.

A total of 415 people with knee osteoarthritis ages 45-80 years and body mass index of 28-40 kg/m2 were assigned to 1 of 2 telehealth-delivered exercise programs, 1 without (n = 172) and 1 with (n = 175) a dietary component (ketogenic very low calorie diet), or to an education control (n = 67), for 6 months, with 6 months follow-up. The primary economic outcomes were quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and health system costs. Measured costs were the direct intervention (consultations, equipment/resources, and meal replacements) and health care use in 2020 Australian dollars ($AU1.5 = $US1). Secondary analysis included weight loss and work productivity gains. RESULTS The clinical trial demonstrated greater improvements in pain and function compared to information only for individuals with knee osteoarthritis and overweight/obesity. We can be 88% confident that diet plus exercise is cost effective ($45,500 per QALY), 53% confident that exercise is cost-effective ($67,600 per QALY) compared to the control, and 86% confident that augmenting exercise with the diet program is cost effective ($21,100 per QALY). CONCLUSION Telehealth-delivered programs targeting exercise with dietary intervention for people with knee osteoarthritis who have overweight/obesity are likely to be cost-effective, particularly if potential long-term gains from weight loss and work productivity are realized.

Design and methods of a translational, community-based, lifestyle weight management pilot intervention trial in breast cancer survivors with overweight or obesity. Contemp Clin Trials Commun 2023; 33:101154. [PMID: 37250507 PMCID: PMC10220259 DOI: 10.1016/j.conctc.2023.101154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 05/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Breast cancer survivors (BCS) with overweight or obesity are at heightened risk of cancer recurrence, cardiometabolic disease, and compromised quality of life. Given the prevalence of significant weight gain during and following breast cancer treatment, there is growing recognition of the need to develop efficacious, widely-accessible, weight management programs for BCS. Unfortunately, access to evidence-based weight management resources for BCS remains limited and little is known of the optimal theoretical basis, program components, and mode of delivery for community-based interventions. The primary aim of the Healthy New Albany Breast Cancer (HNABC) pilot trial was to determine the safety, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of delivering a translational, evidence-based, and theory-driven lifestyle weight management intervention to BCS with overweight or obesity in the community setting. Methods HNABC was a single-arm, pilot trial evaluating a 24-week, multi-component intervention leveraging exercise, dietary modification, and group-mediated cognitive behavioral (GMCB) counseling components designed to facilitate lifestyle behavior change and promote sustained independent adherence. Assessments of various objectively-determined and patient-reported outcomes and theory-derived determinants of behavioral adoption and maintenance were obtained at baseline, 3- and 6-month follow-up. Measures of trial feasibility were calculated prospectively throughout the study. Conclusion Findings from the HNABC pilot trial will provide evidence demonstrating the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a multi-component, community-based, GMCB lifestyle weight management intervention for BCS. Results will inform the design of a future, large-scale, randomized controlled efficacy trial. If successful, this approach could offer a widely accessible, community-based intervention model for weight management programs in BCS.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (OA), which is one of the most common degenerative joint diseases, presents a multifactorial etiology, involving multiple causative factors including genetic and environmental determinants. Four human neutrophil antigen (HNA) systems can be determined using each HNA allele by single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). However, there are no data on HNA polymorphisms and knee OA in Thailand, so we investigated the association of HNA SNPs and knee OA in the Thai population. In a case-control study, detection of HNA-1, -3, -4, and -5 alleles by polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific priming (PCR-SSP) was performed in participants with and without symptomatic knee OA. Logistic regression models were used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) between cases and controls. Among 200 participants, 117 (58.5%) had knee OA; 83 (41.5%) did not and were included as controls in this study. An integrin subunit alpha M (ITGAM) nonsynonymous SNP, rs1143679, was markedly associated with symptomatic knee OA. The ITGAM*01*01 genotype was identified as an important increased risk factor for knee OA (adjusted OR = 5.645, 95% CI = 1.799-17.711, p = 0.003). These findings may contribute to our understanding of the application prospects for therapeutic approaches to knee OA.

Abstract
Physical activity (PA) is recommended to mitigate the symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA); however, this modality remains an unfamiliar construct for many patients and clinicians. Moreover, there can be confusion over the nuanced differences in terminology, such as exercise, sedentary behavior, and moderate intensity. The purpose of this scoping review is to provide a basic overview of PA including terminology, summarize the importance of PA for adults with OA, and discuss current gaps in the literature. Broadly, PA is defined as any energy expenditure from skeletal muscle above a resting level, and exercise is considered a type of PA that is planned, structured, and repetitive. Robust literature shows that PA has a modest protective effect on pain, functional limitation, and disability for OA, in addition to positive effects on a broad range of outcomes from mood and affect to mortality and morbidity in the general population. We provide recommendations for which measurement instruments can be used to record PA, both from a clinical and research perspective, as well as which metrics to employ for summarizing daily activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of weight loss and weight gain on hip and knee radiographic changes, pain, and joint replacement over 4 years. METHODS Participants (n = 2,752) from the Osteoarthritis Initiative were classified as those with weight gain (more than 5% gain), weight loss (more than -5% loss), or as controls (-3% to 3% change) over 4 years. Generalized estimating equations (adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index) were used to assess the relationship between the weight-change group and 4-year changes in knee radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) (Kellgren/Lawrence [K/L] grade), hip OA (Croft summary grade), joint space narrowing (JSN), and joint pain. RESULTS For radiographic knee OA, weight loss was associated with significantly lower odds of K/L grade worsening over 4 years (odds ratio [OR] 0.69 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.53-0.91], P = 0.009), and weight gain was significantly associated with higher odds of medial knee JSN (OR 1.29 [95% CI 1.01-1.64], P = 0.038) compared to controls. For knee pain, weight loss was significantly associated with knee pain resolution over 4 years (OR 1.40 [95% CI 1.06-1.86], P = 0.019) while weight gain was associated with knee pain development (OR 1.34 [95% CI 1.08-1.67], P = 0.009) compared to controls. For all hip outcomes, no significant associations (P > 0.05) were found with weight-change groups. The associations between the weight-change group and total hip or total knee replacement were not significant (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION This large, longitudinal study (n = 2,752 with 4-year follow-up) suggests that weight loss may protect against, and weight gain may exacerbate, radiographic and symptomatic knee OA, while weight change (at a 5% threshold) does not have significant effects on hip OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that is extremely prevalent in society. It affects more than 25% of Americans above the age of 18 years. According to July 2020 publication by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), osteoarthritis affects approximately 325 million Americans. One of the organs that is most affected by osteoarthritis is the knee. Over the years, we have developed non-surgical treatments, such as physical therapy (PT) and injections, and surgical treatments, such as total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and arthroscopic lavage, for knee osteoarthritis (KOA). If a patient fails with non-surgical options, which are tried first to avoid the risks of surgery, the patient may be considered for knee surgery. This article will investigate the different non-surgical options and TKA as treatment options for KOA based on current literature. The goal of this paper is to be a comprehensive resource for physicians and patients with KOA to make an informed decision. A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed. The search terms were based on the type of treatments for KOA. To find articles that compared TKA to non-surgical treatments, the terms included "osteoarthritis", "total knee", and "non-surgical treatments," in combination. For other non-surgical treatments such as PT, weight reduction, and injections, a combination of the treatment, "osteoarthritis", and "knee" were included in the search. For the tier 1 process, any randomized controlled trials were included. Any case reports, observational studies, and cross-sectional studies were eliminated from the search. For the tier 2 review process, any articles that did not have relevance to the topic were eliminated after reading the abstracts of the articles. After review of the literature, the data seem to suggest that TKA with 12 weeks of non-surgical treatment improved pain and functionality of the knee more than just 12 weeks of non-surgical treatment when followed up at 12 and 24 months. However, non-surgical treatment before TKA delays the need for surgery. Supervised PT, either in a group or individual format, has been shown to delay TKA in 95% patients in the group that received PT at the end of one year. In addition, weight reduction has been shown as an effective strategy to improve pain and functionality in KOA patients, which decreases the urgency for surgery. Furthermore, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections have been shown to have long-term symptomatic relief for KOA compared to hyaluronic acid (HA) and corticosteroid injections. However, HA and corticosteroid injections are beneficial in treating KOA more than receiving no treatment. Physicians often have difficulty deciding whether to pursue conservative or surgical treatment for patients with KOA. The non-surgical treatments explored in this review - PT, injections, and weight reduction - can provide symptomatic relief and, in some cases, delay the need for surgical intervention. However, based on some randomized clinical trials mentioned in the article, patients receiving TKA have more relief, better quality of life, and improved functionality compared to non-surgical therapy. However, a critical review of this important field of debate shows that there are limited randomized controlled studies comparing the effectiveness of TKA and non-surgical treatments for KOA. We believe that this controversial topic needs further clinical investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prior work shows caloric restriction (CR) can improve physical function among older adults living with obesity. However, the contribution of starting weight and inflammatory burden to CR-associated functional improvements is unclear. The primary purpose of this study was to determine if CR-associated gait speed change varied by body mass index (BMI) and plasma interleukin 6 (IL-6) at baseline and secondarily to determine the contribution of BMI change and IL-6 change to gait speed change. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS Data from eight randomized control trials were pooled, with 1184 participants randomized to CR (n=661) and No CR (n=523) conditions. All studies assessed outcomes before and five or six months after assignment to CR or No CR. MEASUREMENTS BMI and IL-6 were assessed at baseline using standard procedures. Gait speed was assessed with the six-minute walk test or 400m walk test. Baseline BMI/IL-6 subgroups were constructed using BMI≥35 kg/m2 and IL-6>2.5 pg/mL thresholds. Participants with BMI≥35 kg/m2 were grouped into class 2+ obesity and BMI<35 kg/m2 into class 1- obesity; IL-6>2.5 pg/mL were grouped into high IL-6, and <2.5 pg/mL as low IL-6 (class 2+ obesity/high IL-6: n=288, class 2+ obesity/low IL-6: n=143, class 1- obesity/high IL-6: n=354, or class 1- obesity/low IL-6: n=399). All analyses used adjusted general linear models. RESULTS Gait speed significantly improved with CR versus non-CR [mean difference: +0.02 m/s (95% CI: 0.01, 0.04)]. CR assignment significantly interacted with BMI/IL-6 subgroup membership (p=0.03). Greatest gait speed improvement was observed in the class 2+ obesity/high IL-6 subgroup [+0.07 m/s (0.03, 0.10)]. No other subgroups observed significant gait speed change. For each unit decrease in BMI, gait speed change increased by +0.02 m/s (p<0.001; R2=0.26), while log IL-6 change did not significantly affect gait speed change [+0.01 m/s (p=0.20)]. CONCLUSIONS Only the class 2+ obesity/high IL-6 subgroup significantly improved gait speed in response to CR. Improvement in gait speed in this subgroup was driven by a larger decrease in BMI, but not IL-6, in response to CR. Individuals with class 2+ obesity and high IL-6 are most likely to show improved gait speed in response to CR, with improvement predominantly driven by reductions in BMI.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify factors affecting the implementation of lifestyle interventions (LIs) in patients with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis (OA) from the perspective of primary and secondary healthcare professionals (HCPs) in the Dutch healthcare system. METHODS Multidisciplinary focus groups were composed. Data analysis was performed following thematic analysis. The Tailored Implementation for Chronic Diseases checklist was used to guide data analysis. RESULTS Four focus groups meetings were conducted with 38 participating HCPs (general practitioners (or in-training), orthopedic surgeons (or in-training), physiotherapists, dieticians, a general practice assistant, lifestyle counselors, and nurse practitioners). Influencing factors were grouped into nine themes: (1) intervention factors; (2) individual HCP factors; (3) patient factors; (4) professional interactions; (5) incentives and resources; (6) capacity for organizational change; (7) social, political and legal factors; (8) patient and HCP interactions; and (9) disease factors. CONCLUSIONS A wide variety of factors affecting the implementation of LIs was identified in this study, where the importance of effective interdisciplinary collaboration was emphasized by the multidisciplinary group of participants. This thorough analysis of influencing factors is an important first step toward improved implementation of LIs within OA care. Further research is required to identify the most significant targets for change in daily practice.Implications for RehabilitationThe implementation of lifestyle interventions (LIs) by healthcare professionals (HCPs) in patients with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis (OA) is affected by both individual and environmental factors.The influencing factors identified in this study can support the development of interventions aimed at improving the implementation of LIs in OA care.A multilevel approach is required when developing interventions to improve the implementation of LIs in OA care.Continued efforts of both primary and secondary HCPs and policymakers are needed in order to promote the use of LIs within OA care.

Abstract
Objective Clinical evidence suggests that abnormal mechanical forces play a major role in the initiation and progression of osteoarthritis (OA). However, few studies have examined the mechanical environment that leads to disease. Thus, using a mouse tibial loading model, we quantified the cartilage contact stresses and examined the effects of altering tissue material properties on joint stresses during loading. Design Using a discrete element model (DEA) in conjunction with joint kinematics data from a murine knee joint compression model, the magnitude and distribution of contact stresses in the tibial cartilage during joint loading were quantified at levels ranging from 0 to 9 N in 1 N increments. In addition, a simplified finite element (FEA) contact model was developed to simulate the knee joint, and parametric analyses were conducted to investigate the effects of altering bone and cartilage material properties on joint stresses during compressive loading. Results As loading increased, the peak contact pressures were sufficient to induce fibrillations on the cartilage surfaces. The computed areas of peak contact pressures correlated with experimentally defined areas of highest cartilage damage. Only alterations in cartilage properties and geometry caused large changes in cartilage contact pressures. However, changes in both bone and cartilage material properties resulted in significant changes in stresses induced in the bone during compressive loading. Conclusions The level of mechanical stress induced by compressive tibial loading directly correlated with areas of biological change observed in the mouse knee joint. These results, taken together with the parametric analyses, are the first to demonstrate both experimentally and computationally that the tibial loading model is a useful preclinical platform with which to predict and study the effects of modulating bone and/or cartilage properties on attenuating OA progression. Given the direct correlation between computational modeling and experimental results, the effects of tissue-modifying treatments may be predicted prior to in vivo experimentation, allowing for novel therapeutics to be developed.

Abstract
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE Investigate the effects of land-based exercise-therapy on physical activity in people with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised or quasi-randomised trials investigating land-based exercise-therapy on physical activity, fitness, and general health in people with KOA. We updated a 2013 Cochrane review search on exercise-therapy for KOA in April 2021 and applied the Cochrane Risk-of-Bias Tool 1.0 to included articles. Standardised mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. GRADE was used to assess certainty of the evidence. RESULTS Twenty-eight randomised controlled trials (2,789 participants) evaluating the effects of resistance-training (n = 10), walking (n = 6) and mixed-exercise programs (n = 7) were identified. Low to moderate certainty evidence indicated small increases in physical activity for exercise-therapy compared to non-exercise interventions in the short-term (SMD, 95% CI = 0.29, 0.09 to 0.50), but not the medium- (0.03, -0.11 to 0.18) or long-term (-0.06, -0.34 to 0.22). Low certainty evidence indicated large increases in physical activity for walking programs (0.53, 0.11 to 0.95) and mixed-exercise programs (0.67, 0.37 to 0.97) compared to non-exercise interventions in the short-term. Low certainty evidence indicated moderate and small increases in physical activity for resistance-training combined with education focused on pain coping skills and self-efficacy compared to education alone at medium-term follow-up (0.45, 0.19 to 0.71). CONCLUSION Walking and mixed-exercise, but not resistance-training, may improve physical activity in people with KOA in the short-term. Combining resistance-training with education may increase physical activity in the medium-, but not the long-term, highlighting the potential importance of developing more effective longer-term interventions for people with KOA. Future studies evaluating land-based exercise-therapy are encouraged to include physical activity outcomes and longer-term follow-up to increase the certainty of evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Land-based exercise therapy is recommended in clinical guidelines for hip or knee osteoarthritis. Adjunctive non-pharmacological therapies are commonly used alongside exercise in hip or knee osteoarthritis management, but cumulative evidence for adjuncts to land-based exercise therapy is lacking. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the benefits and harms of adjunctive therapies used in addition to land-based exercise therapy compared with placebo adjunctive therapy added to land-based exercise therapy, or land-based exercise therapy only for people with hip or knee osteoarthritis. SEARCH METHODS We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, CINAHL, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) and clinical trials registries up to 10 June 2021. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-RCTs of people with hip or knee osteoarthritis comparing adjunctive therapies alongside land-based exercise therapy (experimental group) versus placebo adjunctive therapies alongside land-based exercise therapy, or land-based exercise therapy (control groups). Exercise had to be identical in both groups. Major outcomes were pain, physical function, participant-reported global assessment, quality of life (QOL), radiographic joint structural changes, adverse events and withdrawals due to adverse events. We evaluated short-term (6 months), medium-term (6 to 12 months) and long-term (12 months onwards) effects. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently assessed study eligibility, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias and certainty of evidence for major outcomes using GRADE. MAIN RESULTS We included 62 trials (60 RCTs and 2 quasi-RCTs) totalling 6508 participants. One trial included people with hip osteoarthritis, one hip or knee osteoarthritis and 59 included people with knee osteoarthritis only. Thirty-six trials evaluated electrophysical agents, seven manual therapies, four acupuncture or dry needling, or taping, three psychological therapies, dietary interventions or whole body vibration, two spa or peloid therapy and one foot insoles. Twenty-one trials included a placebo adjunctive therapy. We presented the effects stratified by different adjunctive therapies along with the overall results. We judged most trials to be at risk of bias, including 55% at risk of selection bias, 74% at risk of performance bias and 79% at risk of detection bias. Adverse events were reported in eight (13%) trials. Comparing adjunctive therapies plus land-based exercise therapy against placebo therapies plus exercise up to six months (short-term), we found low-certainty evidence for reduced pain and function, which did not meet our prespecified threshold for a clinically important difference. Mean pain intensity was 5.4 in the placebo group on a 0 to 10 numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) (lower scores represent less pain), and 0.77 points lower (0.48 points better to 1.16 points better) in the adjunctive therapy and exercise therapy group; relative improvement 10% (6% to 15% better) (22 studies; 1428 participants). Mean physical function on the Western Ontario and McMaster (WOMAC) 0 to 68 physical function (lower scores represent better function) subscale was 32.5 points in the placebo group and reduced by 5.03 points (2.57 points better to 7.61 points better) in the adjunctive therapy and exercise therapy group; relative improvement 12% (6% better to 18% better) (20 studies; 1361 participants). Moderate-certainty evidence indicates that adjunctive therapies did not improve QOL (SF-36 0 to 100 scale, higher scores represent better QOL). Placebo group mean QOL was 81.8 points, and 0.75 points worse (4.80 points worse to 3.39 points better) in the placebo adjunctive therapy group; relative improvement 1% (7% worse to 5% better) (two trials; 82 participants). Low-certainty evidence (two trials; 340 participants) indicates adjunctive therapies plus exercise may not increase adverse events compared to placebo therapies plus exercise (31% versus 13%; risk ratio (RR) 2.41, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.27 to 21.90). Participant-reported global assessment was not measured in any studies. Compared with land-based exercise therapy, low-certainty evidence indicates that adjunctive electrophysical agents alongside exercise produced short-term (0 to 6 months) pain reduction of 0.41 points (0.17 points better to 0.63 points better); mean pain in the exercise-only group was 3.8 points and 0.41 points better in the adjunctive therapy plus exercise group (0 to 10 NPRS); relative improvement 7% (3% better to 11% better) (45 studies; 3322 participants). Mean physical function (0 to 68 WOMAC subscale) was 18.2 points in the exercise group and 2.83 points better (1.62 points better to 4.04 points better) in the adjunctive therapy plus exercise group; relative improvement 9% (5% better to 13% better) (45 studies; 3323 participants). These results are not clinically important. Mean QOL in the exercise group was 56.1 points and 1.04 points worse in the adjunctive therapies plus exercise therapy group (1.04 points worse to 3.12 points better); relative improvement 2% (2% worse to 5% better) (11 studies; 1483 participants), indicating no benefit (low-certainty evidence). Moderate-certainty evidence indicates that adjunctive therapies plus exercise probably result in a slight increase in participant-reported global assessment (short-term), with success reported by 45% in the exercise therapy group and 17% more individuals receiving adjunctive therapies and exercise (RR 1.37, 95% CI 1.15 to 1.62) (5 studies; 840 participants). One study (156 participants) showed little difference in radiographic joint structural changes (0.25 mm less, 95% CI -0.32 to -0.18 mm); 12% relative improvement (6% better to 18% better). Low-certainty evidence (8 trials; 1542 participants) indicates that adjunctive therapies plus exercise may not increase adverse events compared with exercise only (8.6% versus 6.5%; RR 1.33, 95% CI 0.78 to 2.27). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Moderate- to low-certainty evidence showed no difference in pain, physical function or QOL between adjunctive therapies and placebo adjunctive therapies, or in pain, physical function, QOL or joint structural changes, compared to exercise only. Participant-reported global assessment was not reported for placebo comparisons, but there is probably a slight clinical benefit for adjunctive therapies plus exercise compared with exercise, based on a small number of studies. This may be explained by additional constructs captured in global measures compared with specific measures. Although results indicate no increased adverse events for adjunctive therapies used with exercise, these were poorly reported. Most studies evaluated short-term effects, with limited medium- or long-term evaluation. Due to a preponderance of knee osteoarthritis trials, we urge caution in extrapolating the findings to populations with hip osteoarthritis.

Effects of Physical Exercises Alone on the Functional Capacity of Individuals with Obesity and Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review. BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11101391. [PMID: 36290296 PMCID: PMC9598071 DOI: 10.3390/biology11101391] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Simple Summary Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects millions of people around the world. Knee osteoarthritis is one of the causes of more significant functional disability among people with it. Currently, obesity is identified as one of the main risk factors for the onset of the disease due to excess load on the joints of the lower limbs, especially the knees. The association of measures, such as weight reduction through diets and exercise, can alleviate symptoms and increase the physical condition of people affected by these clinical conditions. However, many individuals with obesity have difficulty adhering to diet programs and need to improve in order to perform their functional activities. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the results of several physical exercise programs conducted without the association of diet, demonstrating the improvement of the functional capacity of individuals with these concomitant clinical conditions, presenting another proposal to reduce the symptoms of the disease in this population. Abstract The association between obesity and knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is reported in the literature. The inflammatory factors described in obesity associated with mechanical overload on the knee joint lead to KOA development and reduced functional capacity in these individuals. Most physical exercise (PE) protocols associate a diet program to improve the functional capacity of individuals with concomitant KOA and obesity. There is a lack of published protocols performing PE alone, which would be without an associated diet program in individuals with both clinical conditions. In this systematic review, the authors summarize the effects of the application of PE alone, describing each protocol and reporting the improvement in the function of people with these clinical conditions. This investigation was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines and registered in PROSPERO. Five databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, PEDro, Scopus, CINAHL and Web of Science) were used up to July 2022 and ten studies, including 534 participants, met the inclusion criteria. The PEDro scale, Cochrane collaborations and ROBINS-I tools were used to evaluate the methodological quality and risk of bias. It was concluded that PE performed alone seems to provide an improvement in the functional capacity of these individuals even without an associated diet plan in the condition of obesity.

Abstract
Introduction: In Taiwan, many people receive Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) as an alternative choice to help control body weight. However, the clinical effectiveness of CHM on weight control has not been well studied, while potential risks and adverse effects are still unknown. The aim of our study is to find out a safe and efficient treatment model of CHM for weight control compared to liraglutide in a real-world setting.Methods: we retrospectively analyzed obese subjects [body mass index (BMI)≧25 kg/m2] from Chang Gung Research Database (2013–2018). We evaluated the effect on body weight and BMI changes in obese groups receiving CHM or western medicine (WM, represented liraglutide) within 180 days. The proportion of subjects who achieved 5 and 10% weight reduction was calculated as well. Furthermore, the potential adverse events were analyzed during the study period. Overlap weighting was used to balance the baseline differences between CHM and WM groups.Results: The full cohort comprised 1,360 participants: 701 in the CHM group and 659 in the WM group. At baseline, the CHM group was younger (42.75 ± 12.12 years old in CHM vs. 52.31 ± 11.7 years old in WM, p-value <0.001) and has more female subjects (77.6% in CHM vs. 53.0% in WM, p-value <0.001). On the other hand, CHM users had lower body weight (79.83 ± 15.66 kg vs. 84.68 ± 17.14 kg, p-value <0.001) and BMI (30.58 ± 5.20 vs. 32.84 ± 6.95, p-value <0.001). At day 180, CHM users lost more body weight (−4.5 ± 4.07 kg vs. −2.15 ± 4.05 kg, p-value <0.001) and higher reduction in BMI (−1.77 ± 1.73 vs. −0.9 ± 2.14, p-value <0.001). A total of 53.21% (n = 373) CHM users lost at least 5% of body weight (22.46% for WM users, p-value <0.001), and 18.97% (n = 132) lost at least 10% of body weight (4.55% for WM users, p-value <0.001). The benefit remained consistent with and without overlap weighting. For adverse events, 18 cases of hypertension occurred in 659 subjects in the WM group (2.7%) in comparison to 1 of 701 subjects in the CHM group (0.1%).Conclusion: CHM led to clinically meaningful weight loss without serious adverse events in a real-world setting. Further clinical trials are warranted to validate this result.

Abstract
Objective To identify attributes targeted by rehabilitative treatment within which improvements lead to short- and long-term changes in mobility. Maintaining independence in mobility is important to many older adults and is associated with critical outcomes such as aging in place, morbidity, and mortality. Design The Live Long Walk Strong rehabilitation study is a phase 2 single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Setting Veterans Affairs Boston Healthcare System, outpatient physical therapy. Participants 198 community-dwelling middle- and older-aged veterans (aged 50 years and older) will be recruited from primary care practices (N=198). Interventions Comparing a moderate-vigorous intensity physical therapy program of 10 sessions with a waitlist control group. Main Outcome Measure The primary outcome measure is gait speed. Secondary outcomes include leg strength and power, trunk muscle endurance, gait smoothness, and exercise self-efficacy. Results Outcomes will be assessed within 2 weeks of intervention completion, at 8 weeks postintervention, and at 16 weeks postintervention. Two-sample t tests will compare mean change in gait speed and target attributes (leg power, trunk muscle endurance, gait smoothness, and exercise self-efficacy) between treatment and control groups. Paired t tests will examine within-person change at subsequent follow-up visits. Multivariable regression analyses will evaluate relationships between dependent and independent variables and potential mediation adjusting for relevant covariates. Conclusions Results of this study are expected to advance and refine the design of Live Long Walk Strong rehabilitative care and demonstrate its proof of concept and efficacy.

Association of Decrease in Body Mass Index With Reduced Incidence and Progression of the Structural Defects of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Prospective Multi-Cohort Study. Arthritis Rheumatol 2022; 75:533-543. [PMID: 35974435 DOI: 10.1002/art.42307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Revised: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To define the association between change in body mass index (BMI) and the incidence and progression of the structural defects of knee osteoarthritis as assessed by radiography. METHODS Radiographic analyses of knees at baseline and at 4-5 years of follow-up were obtained from the following 3 independent cohort studies: the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) study, the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study (MOST), and the Cohort Hip and Cohort Knee (CHECK) study. Logistic regression analyses using generalized estimating equations, with clustering of both knees within individuals, were used to investigate the association between change in BMI from baseline to 4-5 years of follow-up and the incidence and progression of knee osteoarthritis. RESULTS A total of 9,683 knees (from 5,774 participants) in an "incidence cohort" and 6,075 knees (from 3,988 participants) in a "progression cohort" were investigated. Change in BMI was positively associated with both the incidence and progression of the structural defects of knee osteoarthritis. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) for osteoarthritis incidence was 1.05 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.02-1.09), and the adjusted OR for osteoarthritis progression was 1.05 (95% CI 1.01-1.09). Change in BMI was also positively associated with degeneration (i.e., narrowing) of the joint space and with degeneration of the femoral and tibial surfaces (as indicated by osteophytes) on the medial but not on the lateral side of the knee. CONCLUSION A decrease in BMI was independently associated with lower odds of incidence and progression of the structural defects of knee osteoarthritis and could be a component in preventing the onset or worsening of knee osteoarthritis.
