Lin CL, Chen HC, Huang MH, Huang SW, Liao CD. Comparative Efficacy of Various Exercise Therapies and Combined Treatments on Inflammatory Biomarkers and Morphological Measures of Skeletal Muscle among Older Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Network Meta-Analysis. Biomedicines 2024; 12:1524. [PMID: 39062097 PMCID: PMC11275072 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12071524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2024] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis is associated with high risks of sarcopenia in older populations. Exercise interventions are promising treatments for musculoskeletal impairments in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The purpose of this study was to identify the comparative effects of exercise monotherapy and its adjunct treatments on muscle volume and serum inflammation for older individuals with KOA. A literature search in the electronic databases was comprehensively performed from this study's inception until April 2024 to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that reported muscle morphology and inflammation outcomes after exercise. The included RCTs were analyzed through a frequentist network meta-analysis (NMA). The standard mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval was estimated for treatment effects on muscle morphology and inflammation biomarkers. The relative effects on each main outcome among all treatment arms were compared using surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) scores. The certainty of evidence (CoE) was assessed by the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations) ranking system. Probable moderators of the treatment efficacy were investigated by network meta-regression analysis. This study included 52 RCTs (4255 patients) for NMA. Among the 27 identified treatment arms, isokinetic training plus physical modality as well as low-load resistance training plus blood-flow restriction yielded the most optimal treatment for inflammation reduction (-1.89; SUCRA = 0.97; CoE = high) and muscle hypertrophy (SMD = 1.28; SUCRA = 0.94; CoE = high). The patient's age (β = -0.73), the intervention time (β = -0.45), and the follow-up duration (β = -0.47) were identified as significant determinants of treatment efficacy on muscle hypertrophy. Exercise therapy in combination with noninvasive agents exert additional effects on inflammation reduction and muscle hypertrophy compared to its corresponding monotherapies for the KOA population. However, such treatment efficacy is likely moderated by the patient's age, the intervention time, and the follow-up duration.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is widely recognized as a chronic joint disease characterized by degeneration of knee cartilage and subsequent bone hyperplasia. However, it is important to acknowledge the significant role of muscles in the development and progression of KOA. Muscle function (MF) and muscle quality (MQ) are key factors in understanding the involvement of muscles in KOA. Quantitative indices such as muscle mass, muscle strength, muscle cross-sectional area, muscle thickness, and muscle fatigue are crucial in assessing MF and MQ. Despite the growing interest in KOA, there is a scarcity of studies investigating the relationship between muscles and this condition. This review aims to examine the commonly used indices and measurement methods for assessing MF and MQ in clinical settings, while also exploring the association between muscles and KOA. Furthermore, this article highlights the importance of restoring MF and MQ to enhance symptom management and improve the quality of life for patients with KOA.

Abstract
The association between sarcopenia and OA still presents many uncertainties. We aimed to assess whether sarcopenia is associated with occurrence of OA in US adults. We conducted a cross-sectional study consisting of 11,456 participants from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2006. Sarcopenia was defined by a low muscle mass. The skeletal muscle index (SMI) was calculated as the appendicular skeletal muscle mass divided by body mass indexes (BMI) or body weight. OA status was assessed by using self-reported questionnaire. We evaluated the association between sarcopenia and OA using multivariate regression models. In addition, subgroup and interaction analysis were performed. Sarcopenia was associated with OA when it was defined by the BMI-adjusted SMI (OR = 1.23 [95% CI, 1.01, 1.51]; P = 0.038) and defined by the weight-adjusted SMI (OR = 1.30 [95% CI, 1.10, 1.55]; P = 0.003). Subgroup and interaction analysis found that the strongest positive association mainly exists in smoker (OR = 1.54 [95% CI, 1.21, 1.95], Pint = 0.006), and this association is not significant in other groups. In conclusion, we found that sarcopenia was associated with occurrence of OA. Subgroup analysis revealed that the association between sarcopenia and OA was more pronounced in smoker. Further well-designed prospective cohort studies are needed to assess our results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous studies have explored factors impacting osteoarthritis (OA), but its relationship with height remains uncertain. This study investigates the relationship between height and osteoarthritis risk in South Korea. METHODS Participants aged 50 or older who underwent health screenings in 2009 were selected from the National Health Insurance System database. A total of 1,138,904 subjects were divided into height quartiles (Q1-Q4) based on age and gender. Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess knee osteoarthritis incidence risk, with the shortest quartile (Q1) as the reference. RESULTS After adjusting for age, sex, income, smoking, drinking, exercise, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and body mass index (BMI), no significant difference in OA incidence risk based on height was observed. However, when adjusted for weight instead of BMI, we observed a gradual decrease in hazard ratio with increasing height. The hazard ratio for the tallest group was 0.787 (95% CI, 0.781~0.795). Similar results were obtained in all subgroups. CONCLUSIONS Compared to previous studies, our findings present a clear distinction. Therefore, there may be racial differences in the association between height and knee OA risk, and our study provides evidence that, in East Asian populations, taller individuals have a reduced risk of knee OA.

Abstract
Frailty as a syndrome of physical decline in late life is associated with adverse health outcomes. Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) could contribute to frailty conditions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of KOA on frailty risk in a Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) cohort. In this study (N, total = 11,910, age; 64.10 years old [63.94-64.27; mean 95% CI], sex (female, %); 6,752 (56.69)), KOA patients were defined as those with knee joint pain and grade 2 Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) or more on plain radiographic images who were 40 years old or older in Korean population data of KNHANES. The frailty index was calculated using 46 items related to co-morbidities and laboratory parameters. The impact of KOA on frailty risk was evaluated with logistic regression analyses. The prevalence of KOA patients was 35.6% [95% CI 34.7-36.46]. In polytomous logistic regression, the relative risk ratio (RRR) of KOA was significantly increased in the pre-frail group (2.76, 95% CI 2.30-3.31) and the frail group (7.28, 95% CI 5.90-8.98). RRR of frailty was significantly increased in patients with K-L grade 3 (1.36, 95% CI 1.13-1.63) and K-L grade 4 (2.19, 95% CI 1.72-2.79). Older age, higher BMI, smoking status, alcohol intake, low-income status, higher WBC count, higher platelet count, higher serum creatinine level and low estimated GFR were significantly associated with increased frailty risk. High hemoglobin and regular walking habits were associated with decreased frailty risk in KOA patients. In this large observation population- based survey cohort, KOA is linked to an increased risk of frailty syndrome. We found a significant connection between KOA and frailty syndrome. These results show that we need to think about the overall health of people with KOA and give them special care to prevent frailty syndrome.

Abstract
(1) Many studies have attempted to utilize metabolomic approaches to explore potential biomarkers for the early detection of osteoarthritis (OA), but consistent and high-level evidence is still lacking. In this study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of differential small molecule metabolites between OA patients and healthy individuals to screen promising candidates from a large number of samples with the aim of informing future prospective studies. (2) Methods: We searched the EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Wan Fang Data, VIP Date, and CNKI up to 11 August 2022, and selected relevant records based on inclusion criteria. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale. We performed qualitative synthesis by counting the frequencies of changing directions and conducted meta-analyses using the random effects model and the fixed-effects model to calculate the mean difference and 95% confidence interval. (3) Results: A total of 3798 records were identified and 13 studies with 495 participants were included. In the 13 studies, 132 kinds of small molecule differential metabolites were extracted, 58 increased, 57 decreased and 17 had direction conflicts. Among them, 37 metabolites appeared more than twice. The results of meta-analyses among four studies showed that three metabolites increased, and eight metabolites decreased compared to healthy controls (HC). (4) Conclusions: The main differential metabolites between OA and healthy subjects were amino acids (AAs) and their derivatives, including tryptophan, lysine, leucine, proline, phenylalanine, glutamine, dimethylglycine, citrulline, asparagine, acetylcarnitine and creatinine (muscle metabolic products), which could be potential biomarkers for predicting OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The main purpose of this study was to review the evidence about the effectiveness of exercise in patients with overweight or obesity suffering from knee osteoarthritis. METHODS Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) published between January 2002 and May 2022 were included. RESULTS A total of 64 articles were identified, of which six met the criteria for meta-analysis. The pain scale score was higher in the control group (mean difference 0.95; confidence interval 0.42-1.47; p < 0.001; I2 = 44%). The physical function scale (lower scores indicate lower levels of symptoms or physical disability) presented a higher score in the control group (mean difference 3.74; confidence interval 0.85-6.53; p < 0.05; I2 = 56%). Moreover, the intervention group achieved a greater distance (meters) walking in a 6 min interval (mean difference 38.18; confidence interval 20.01-56.35; p < 0.001; I2 = 0%). CONCLUSIONS Exercise interventions seem effective in improving quality of life in people with overweight or obesity suffering from knee osteoarthritis, reducing pain and improving physical function.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Periarticular muscle plays an important role in the pathogenesis of musculoskeletal pain. We recently reported that pain population consists of distinct subgroups of which the causes and mechanisms may differ. This study aimed to examine the association of lean mass, muscle strength, and quality with 10.7-year pain trajectory. Nine hundred forty-seven participants from a population-based cohort study were analysed. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to assess lean and fat mass. Leg strength, knee extensor strength, and lower-limb muscle quality were measured/calculated. Knee pain was assessed by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index pain questionnaire. Radiographic knee osteoarthritis was assessed by X-ray. Three distinct pain trajectories were identified: "Minimal pain" (53%), "Mild pain" (34%), and "Moderate pain" (13%). Higher total and lower-limb lean mass were associated with an increased risk of "Mild pain" and "Moderate pain" trajectories relative to the "Minimal pain" trajectory group, but these associations became nonsignificant after further adjustment for fat mass. Total lean mass percentage was associated with a lower risk of "Mild pain" (relative risk ratio [RRR]: 0.95, 95% confidence interval 0.92-0.98) and "Moderate pain" trajectory (RRR: 0.92, 95% confidence interval 0.87-0.96). Greater leg and knee extensor strength and muscle quality were associated with "Mild pain" and "Moderate pain" trajectories (RRR: 0.52-0.65, all P < 0.05). Similar results were found in those with radiographic knee osteoarthritis. Higher lower-limb muscle strength and quality, and relative lean mass, are associated with a reduced risk of severe knee pain trajectories, suggesting that improving muscle function and composition may protect against persistent unfavourable knee pain courses.

Abstract
Aging and osteoarthritis are associated with high risk of muscle mass loss, which leads to physical disability; this loss can be effectively alleviated by diet (DI) and exercise (ET) interventions. This study investigated the relative effects of different types of diet, exercise, and combined treatment (DI+ET) on muscle mass and functional outcomes in individuals with obesity and lower-limb osteoarthritis. A comprehensive search of online databases was performed to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the efficacy of DI, ET, and DI+ET in patients with obesity and lower-extremity osteoarthritis. The included RCTs were analyzed through network meta-analysis and risk-of-bias assessment. We finally included 34 RCTs with a median (range/total) Physiotherapy Evidence Database score of 6.5 (4-8/10). DI plus resistance ET, resistance ET alone, and aerobic ET alone were ranked as the most effective treatments for increasing muscle mass (standard mean difference (SMD) = 1.40), muscle strength (SMD = 1.93), and walking speed (SMD = 0.46). Our findings suggest that DI+ET is beneficial overall for muscle mass in overweight or obese adults with lower-limb osteoarthritis, especially those who are undergoing weight management.

Ther Adv Musculoskelet Dis 2021; 13:1759720X21998508. [PMID: 33786069 PMCID: PMC7958164 DOI: 10.1177/1759720x21998508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is associated with an increased
risk of sarcopenia, and aging-related muscle deterioration continues after
total knee replacement (TKR). Low skeletal muscle mass index may influence
postoperative rehabilitation outcomes. Through this study, we aimed to
investigate the impact of preoperative sarcopenia on clinical outcomes after
postoperative rehabilitation in older Asian adults. Methods: A total of 190 older adults (39 men, 151 women) were
enrolled from two previous trials and were classified as having no
sarcopenia, class I sarcopenia, or class II sarcopenia according to
definitions provided by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) and
the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP). All
patients were retrospectively analyzed before (T0) and after
(T1) TKR rehabilitation and 10 months after surgery
(T2). The outcome measures included the timed up-and-go test
(TUGT), gait speed (GS), timed chair rise (TCR), and the Western Ontario and
McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain and physical
difficulty (WOMAC-PF). With patient characteristics and T0 scores
as covariates, an analysis of variance was performed to identify intergroup
differences in changes of all outcome measures at T1 and
T2. Results: According to the definitions of both the AWGS and EWGSOP,
patients with class I and class II sarcopenia exhibited minor changes in
TUGT, GS, TCR, and WOMAC-PF at T1 and T2 (all
p < 0.05), compared with those without sarcopenia.
For patients classified as having sarcopenia based on AWGS and EWGSOP
definitions, no significant intergroup differences in WOMAC pain score was
observed at T1 or T2 (all
p > 0.05). Conclusions: Sarcopenia independently had negative impacts on the
treatment effects of rehabilitation on physical mobility but not on pain
outcome after TKR in older adults with KOA.

Effects of Muscle Strength Training on Muscle Mass Gain and Hypertrophy in Older Adults With Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 2020; 72:1703-1718. [PMID: 31628720 DOI: 10.1002/acr.24097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2019] [Accepted: 10/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of muscle strength exercise training (MSET) on lean mass (LM) gain and muscle hypertrophy in older patients with lower extremity osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS A comprehensive search of online databases was performed on April 20, 2019. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that reported the effects of MSET on LM, muscle thickness, and cross-sectional area (CSA) in older patients with OA were identified. A risk of bias assessment and meta-analysis were performed for the included RCTs. RESULTS We included 19 RCTs with a median Physiotherapy Evidence Database score of 6 of 10 (range 3-7). In total, data from 1,195 patients (65% women, 85% with knee OA) with a mean age of 62.1 years (range 40-86 years) were analyzed. MSET resulted in significantly higher LM gain (standardized mean difference [SMD] 0.49 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.28, 0.71], P < 0.00001) than did the nonexercise controls. Meta-analysis results revealed significantly positive effects of MSET on muscle thickness (SMD 0.82 [95% CI 0.20, 1.43], P = 0.009) and CSA (SMD 0.80 [95% CI 0.25, 1.35], P = 0.004) compared with nonexercise controls. No significant effects in favor of MSET were observed for any muscle outcome compared with exercise controls. Five RCTs reported nonsevere adverse events in response to MSET, whereas no RCTs reported severe events. CONCLUSION MSET is effective in increasing LM and muscle size in older adults with OA. Clinicians should incorporate MSET into their management of patients at risk of low muscle mass to maximize health status, particularly for older individuals with OA.

Evaluating the relationship between quadriceps muscle quality captured using ultrasound with clinical severity in women with knee osteoarthritis. Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon) 2020; 80:105165. [PMID: 32906002 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2020.105165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2019] [Revised: 04/21/2020] [Accepted: 08/25/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Infiltration of muscle with non-lean tissue, such as fat, reduces muscle quality. Ultrasound captures muscle quality through measurement of echogenicity. Given the potential implications of quadriceps muscle quality on physical function, particularly in knee osteoarthritis, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between echogenicity, muscle thickness and subcutaneous fat thickness with the clinical severity of osteoarthritis. METHODS Thirty-one women with clinical knee osteoarthritis participated. Rectus femoris and vastus lateralis echogenicity, muscle thickness and subcutaneous fat thickness were measured from ultrasound images of the most symptomatic knee. Clinical severity of osteoarthritis was characterized with pain, self-reported function, six-minute walk test, and knee extensor strength. Correlation coefficients were calculated between muscle and fat architecture outcomes (muscle quality, muscle and fat thicknesses) and osteoarthritis clinical severity outcomes. FINDINGS Data from 25 women were of sufficient quality for analysis. Echogenicity (muscle quality) related to the six-minute walk test for both rectus femoris (r = -0.52, p = 0.02) and vastus lateralis (r = -0.74, p = 0.004), with poorer muscle quality related to lower mobility. Subcutaneous fat thickness was related to the six-minute walk test (rectus femoris, r = -0.61, p = 0.0012; vastus lateralis, r = -0.73, p = 0.003) and strength (rectus femoris, r = -0.46, p = 0.02; vastus lateralis, r = -0.59, p = 0.03). Muscle thickness was not related to any severity outcomes. INTERPRETATION Muscle quality, rather than thickness, is associated with mobility performance in women with knee osteoarthritis. Thus, interventions for osteoarthritis that specifically target muscle quality, rather than size, should be explored.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis and sarcopenia are the most frequently described musculoskeletal disorders in older persons but the intertwining of these conditions and of their functional and cellular causes is complex. This narrative review aims to identify the links between osteoarthritis and sarcopenia described 1-in clinical studies, 2-in in vitro studies, and 3-the available treatment strategies for both conditions. Electronic databases were used for the literature search of all studies investigating the relationship between sarcopenia and the presence of concomitant osteoarthritis. This review identified a limited number of clinical and morphometric studies on the complex relationship between osteoarthritis and sarcopenia. Studies present a number of methodological limitations due to definition and assessment of both entities. Low lean mass is one of the main actors of this cross-talk between muscle and bone, and adipose tissue plays a major role that had been underestimated. Bone Morphogenetic Proteins and myostatin pathways are key mediators and play an important role in both muscle and bone homeostasis. Common therapeutic recommendations are still missing. There is a need for good quality prospective studies on concomitant sarcopenia and osteoarthritis, more translational research, and pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies in order to identify common denominators for the management of sarcopenia, osteoarthritis, and their comorbidities.
