Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the sex differences in the relationship of metabolic syndrome (MetS) criteria with arthritis and symptomatic arthritis among Mexican American older adults aged ≥ 65 without self-reported arthritis at baseline over 23-years of follow-up. METHODS Participants (N = 1447) were from the Hispanic Established Population for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly (1993/94-2016). Measures included MetS criteria, arthritis defined as self-reported physician-diagnosed arthritis, socio-demographics, morbidities, depressive symptoms, pain on weight-bearing, cognitive and physical function, handgrip strength, mobility, and activities of daily living (ADLs) limitations. Symptomatic arthritis was defined as self-reported arthritis and having ≥ 1 of the following: pain, mobility limitation, or limited ADLs. RESULTS At baseline, the mean age was 72.6 years and 730 (50.5%) of our participants were females. Female participants with 2 and 3 MetS criteria had greater odds of arthritis [odds ratio (OR) = 1.77, 95% Confidence Interval (Cl) = 1.28-2.45 and OR = 2.68, 95% CI = 1.69-4.27, respectively) and symptomatic arthritis (OR = 1.74, 95% Cl = 1.24-2.44 and OR = 3.27, 95% CI = 2.04-5.26, respectively) after controlling for covariates. Male participants with 2 and 3 MetS criteria had greater odds of arthritis (OR = 1.65, 95% Cl = 1.14-2.39 and OR = 2.52, 95% CI = 1.51-4.19, respectively) and symptomatic arthritis (OR = 1.93, 95% Cl = 1.30-2.86 and OR = 2.98, 95% CI = 1.62-5.47, respectively) after controlling for covariates. Both females and males with pain on weight-bearing had greater odds of arthritis than those without pain. CONCLUSIONS At 23-years of follow-up, Mexican American older adults with MetS have an increased risk of arthritis and symptomatic arthritis. Early MetS screening and management may reduce arthritis in this population at high risk of disability.

Wu H, Sun Z, Guo Q, Li C. Mapping knowledge landscapes and research frontiers of gastrointestinal microbiota and bone metabolism: a text-mining study. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2024; 14:1407180. [PMID: 39055979 PMCID: PMC11270605 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2024.1407180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to elucidating the intricate pathways by which gastrointestinal microbiota and their metabolites exert influence on the processes of bone formation. Nonetheless, a notable gap exists in the literature concerning a bibliometric analysis of research trends at the nexus of gastrointestinal microbiota and bone metabolism. Methods To address this scholarly void, the present study employs a suite of bibliometric tools including online platforms, CiteSpace and VOSviewer to scrutinize the pertinent literature in the realm of gastrointestinal microbiota and bone metabolism. Results and discussion Examination of the temporal distribution of publications spanning from 2000 to 2023 reveals a discernible upward trajectory in research output, characterized by an average annual growth rate of 19.2%. Notably, China and the United States emerge as primary contributors. Predominant among contributing institutions are Emory University, Harvard University, and the University of California. Pacifici R from Emory University contributed the most research with 15 publications. In the realm of academic journals, Nutrients emerges as the foremost publisher, followed closely by Frontiers in Microbiology and PLOS One. And PLOS One attains the highest average citations of 32.48. Analysis of highly cited papers underscores a burgeoning interest in the therapeutic potential of probiotics or probiotic blends in modulating bone metabolism by augmenting host immune responses. Notably, significant research attention has coalesced around the therapeutic interventions of probiotics, particularly Lactobacillus reuteri, in osteoporosis, as well as the role of gastrointestinal microbiota in the etiology and progression of osteoarthritis. Keyword analysis reveals prevalent terms including gut microbiota, osteoporosis, bone density, probiotics, inflammation, SCFAs, metabolism, osteoarthritis, calcium absorption, obesity, double-blind, prebiotics, mechanisms, postmenopausal women, supplementation, risk factors, oxidative stress, and immune system. Future research endeavors warrant a nuanced exploration of topics such as inflammation, obesity, SCFAs, postmenopausal osteoporosis, skeletal muscle, oxidative stress, double-blind trials, and pathogenic mechanisms. In summary, this study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research on the interplay between gastrointestinal microbiota and bone metabolism, offering valuable insights for scholars, particularly nascent researchers, embarking on analogous investigations within this domain.

Abstract
Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a combination of interconnected conditions, including insulin resistance, abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, and abnormal blood lipid levels. The objective of this research was to investigate the impact of MetS on the quality of life and clinical outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Methods A retrospective descriptive study was conducted to enroll OA patients who underwent primary TKA at Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University from January 2015 to August 2019. A total of 83 OA patients who did and 144 (MetS group) who did not have MetS (non-MetS group) were included. An analysis was conducted on the patient's clinical data. Results The two groups had similar results in terms of lengths of stay (P=0.93), hospital costs (P=0.24), and overall complication rates (P=0.99). There was no significant difference in the average erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein levels between the groups. However, the MetS group exhibited notably lower Hospital for Special Surgery knee scores and Short Form [36] health survey (SF-36) scores compared to the non-MetS group (both P>0.05) during the one-year follow-up period. Conclusions OA patients who have MetS had significantly worse knee joint function and quality of life after TKA. There are certain constraints in the current research. First, it belongs to a single-center retrospective study. Further study will be necessary to determine the generality of this conclusion. Second, this study is retrospective, and the number of patients included is not large. Third, due to the diverse clinical groups in our hospital, it is challenging to comprehensively document all the clinical data of the patients involved in this study. Forth, this study did not compare the preoperative differences between the two groups, as well as analyze the postoperative improvement changes in depth. We will compare the preoperative and postoperative differences between the two groups in more depth in future large sample studies.

The obesity challenge in joint replacement: a multifaceted analysis of self-reported health status and exercise capacity using NHANES data: a population-based study. Int J Surg 2024; 110:3212-3222. [PMID: 38498390 PMCID: PMC11175787 DOI: 10.1097/js9.0000000000001287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Joint replacement is successful for end-stage oeteoarthritis, with obesity linked to elevated risk. But the impact of obesity on self-reported health and exercise capacity among joint replacement patients remains complex and requires investigation. METHODS This study utilizes data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to examine the relationship between obesity severity, demographic factors, medical comorbidities, and self-reported health status. The relationship between general health status and BMI was analyzed using multivariable regression, and further illustrated using a restricted cubic spline. Additionally, a bibliometric analysis and systematic review was done to frame the research within the broader context of existing knowledge and demographic specifics. RESULTS Analysis of NHANES data involving 327 joint replacement patients yielded intriguing insights. The difference in self-reported health between BMI groups did not achieve conventional statistical significance ( P =0.06), and multivariable analysis showed that even severely obese patients did not exhibit significantly elevated risk of poor/fair self-reported health compared to normal weight subjects. Among severely obese individuals (BMI>40), 40.63% still rated their health positively. However, stratified analyses indicated that obesity correlated with negative health reports across sex, age, and education strata. Notably, physical functioning emerged as a robust predictor of self-reported health, with those reporting no walking difficulties having significantly lower odds of poor/fair health (Odds ratio=0.37, P =0.01). CONCLUSION The study highlights the need for healthcare providers to consider individual physical abilities and comorbidities alongside obesity severity when discussing treatment options with joint replacement patients. It supports tailored interventions and informed shared decision-making. Future research could explore effective weight management strategies for obese individuals undergoing joint replacement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association (AHA), in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and obesity) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose control, and metabolic syndrome) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The AHA Heart Disease and Stroke Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, brain health, complications of pregnancy, kidney disease, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, sudden cardiac arrest, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, valvular disease, venous thromboembolism, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The AHA, through its Epidemiology and Prevention Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States and globally to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update with review of published literature through the year before writing. The 2024 AHA Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort in 2023 by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and AHA staff members. The AHA strives to further understand and help heal health problems inflicted by structural racism, a public health crisis that can significantly damage physical and mental health and perpetuate disparities in access to health care, education, income, housing, and several other factors vital to healthy lives. This year's edition includes additional global data, as well as data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population, with an enhanced focus on health equity across several key domains. RESULTS Each of the chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policymakers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The association between Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), its components, and the risk of osteoarthritis (OA) has been a topic of conflicting evidence in different studies. The aim of this present study is to investigate the association between MetS, its components, and the risk of OA using data from the UK Biobank. METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted in the UK Biobank to assess the risk of osteoarthritis (OA) related to MetS. MetS was defined according to the criteria set by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). Additionally, lifestyle factors, medications, and the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP) were included in the model. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The cumulative risk of OA was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests. To explore potential nonlinear associations between MetS components and OA risk, a restricted cubic splines (RCS) model was employed. In addition, the polygenic risk score (PRS) of OA was calculated to characterize individual genetic risk. RESULTS A total of 45,581 cases of OA were identified among 370,311 participants, with a median follow-up time of 12.48 years. The study found that individuals with MetS had a 15% higher risk of developing OA (HR = 1.15, 95%CI:1.12-1.19). Additionally, central obesity was associated with a 58% increased risk of OA (HR = 1.58, 95%CI:1.5-1.66), while hyperglycemia was linked to a 13% higher risk (HR = 1.13, 95%CI:1.1-1.15). Dyslipidemia, specifically in triglycerides (HR = 1.07, 95%CI:1.05-1.09) and high-density lipoprotein (HR = 1.05, 95%CI:1.02-1.07), was also found to be slightly associated with OA risk. When stratified by PRS, those in the high PRS group had a significantly higher risk of OA compared to those with a low PRS, whereas no interaction was found between MetS and PRS on OA risks. Furthermore, the presence of MetS significantly increased the risk of OA by up to 35% in individuals with elevated CRP levels (HR = 1.35, 95% CI:1.3-1.4). CONCLUSION MetS and its components have been found to be associated with an increased risk of OA, particularly in individuals with elevated levels of CRP. These findings highlight the significance of managing MetS as a preventive and intervention measure for OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES As more has become known of the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA), evidence that inflammation plays a critical role in its development and progression has accumulated. Here, we aim to review current knowledge of the complex inflammatory network in the OA joint. DESIGN This narrative review is presented in three main sections: local inflammation, systemic inflammation, and therapeutic implications. We focused on inflammatory mediators and their link to OA structural changes in the joint. RESULTS OA is characterized by chronic and low-grade inflammation mediated mostly by the innate immune system, which results in cartilage degradation, bone remodeling and synovial changes. Synovitis is regarded as an OA characteristic and associated with increased severity of symptoms and joint dysfunction. However, the articular cartilage and the subchondral bone also produce several pro-inflammatory mediators thus establishing a complex interplay between the different tissues of the joint. In addition, systemic low-grade inflammation induced by aging, obesity and metabolic syndrome can contribute to OA development and progression. The main inflammatory mediators associated with OA include cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, adipokines, and neuropeptides. CONCLUSIONS Future research is needed to deeper understand the molecular pathways mediating the inflammation in OA to provide new therapeutics that target these pathways, or to repurpose existing drugs.

Abstract
Although the economic burden of multimorbidity is a growing global challenge, the contribution of multimorbidity in patients with high medical expenses remains unclear. We aimed to clarify multimorbidity patterns that have a large impact on medical costs in the Japanese population. We conducted a cross-sectional study using health insurance claims data provided by the Japan Health Insurance Association. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to identify multimorbidity patterns in 1,698,902 patients who had the top 10% of total medical costs in 2015. The present parameters of the LCA model included 68 disease labels that were frequent among this population. Moreover, subgroup analysis was performed using a generalized linear model (GLM) to assess the factors influencing annual medical cost and 5-year mortality. As a result of obtaining 30 latent classes, the kidney disease class required the most expensive cost per capita, while the highest portion (28.6%) of the total medical cost was spent on metabolic syndrome (MetS) classes, which were characterized by hypertension, dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes. GLM applied to patients with MetS classes showed that cardiovascular diseases or complex conditions, including malignancies, were powerful determinants of medical cost and mortality. MetS was classified into 7 classes based on real-world data and accounts for a large portion of the total medical costs. MetS classes with cardiovascular diseases or complex conditions, including malignancies, have a significant impact on medical costs and mortality.

Braz J Med Biol Res 2023; 56:e12746. [PMID: 37703108 PMCID: PMC10496761 DOI: 10.1590/1414-431x2023e12746] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Leptin and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) are two extensively studied biomarkers associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and osteoarthritis (OA). Previous studies have mostly focused on either MetS or OA alone, with no available data on Vietnamese patients. This study aimed to investigate the levels of leptin and IL-1β in this patient population and explore their association with clinical parameters of MetS and OA. The study included 164 patients with primary knee OA, who were classified into two categories based on the presence of MetS, and 78 healthy controls. The plasma leptin and IL-1β levels were quantified by ELISA and correlated with clinical parameters. Leptin levels were higher in patients with OA (11.50±10.04 ng/mL) than in healthy controls (0.54±0.37 ng/mL) and increased in patients with MetS compared to those without MetS. IL-1β levels were also significantly higher in OA patients (14.63±15.87 pg/mL) than in controls (7.79±5.11 pg/mL), but were not significantly different between the MetS and non-MetS groups. Leptin levels were positively correlated with body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, visual analogue scale scores, HbA1c and insulin levels, and HOMA-IR index, whereas IL-1β levels were only correlated with insulin levels and HOMA-IR index. ROC curve analysis revealed that leptin and IL-1β levels could distinguish individuals with and without OA (AUC=0.96; 0.88, respectively), and individuals with and without MetS (AUC=0.82; 0.71, respectively). Our findings suggested that both leptin and IL-1β levels were associated with both MetS and OA and may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of MetS-related OA.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Metabolic syndrome (MetS), also called the 'deadly quartet' comprising obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, has been ascertained to have a causal role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). This review is aimed at discussing the current knowledge on the contribution of metabolic syndrome and its various components to OA pathogenesis and progression. RECENT FINDINGS Lately, an increased association identified between the various components of metabolic syndrome (obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension) with OA has led to the identification of the 'metabolic phenotype' of OA. These metabolic perturbations alongside low-grade systemic inflammation have been identified to inflict detrimental effects upon multiple tissues of the joint including cartilage, bone, and synovium leading to complete joint failure in OA. Recent epidemiological and clinical findings affirm that adipokines significantly contribute to inflammation, tissue degradation, and OA pathogenesis mediated through multiple signaling pathways. OA is no longer perceived as just a 'wear and tear' disease and the involvement of the metabolic components in OA pathogenesis adds up to the complexity of the disease. Given the global surge in obesity and its allied metabolic perturbations, this review aims to throw light on the current knowledge on the pathophysiology of MetS-associated OA and the need to address MetS in the context of metabolic OA management. Better regulation of the constituent factors of MetS could be profitable in preventing MetS-associated OA. The identification of key roles for several metabolic regulators in OA pathogenesis has also opened up newer avenues in the recognition and development of novel therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common and debilitating joint disorder that leads to progressive joint breakdown and loss of articular cartilage. Accompanied by a state of low-grade inflammation, its etiology extends beyond that of a wear-and-tear disease, and the immune system might have a role in its initiation and progression. Obesity, which is directly associated with an increased incidence of OA, alters adipokine release, increases pro-inflammatory macrophage activity, and affects joint immune regulation. Studying inflammatory macrophage expression and strategies to inhibit inflammatory macrophage phenotype polarization might provide insights into disease pathogenesis and therapeutic applications. In pre-clinical studies, the detection of OA in its initial stages was shown to be possible using imaging techniques such as SPECT-CT, and advances are made to detect OA through blood-based biomarker analysis. In this review, obesity-induced osteoarthritis and its mechanisms in inducing joint degeneration are summarized, along with an analysis of the current developments in patient imaging and biomarker use for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, heart failure, valvular disease, venous disease, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The American Heart Association, through its Epidemiology and Prevention Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update with review of published literature through the year before writing. The 2023 Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort in 2022 by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and American Heart Association staff members. The American Heart Association strives to further understand and help heal health problems inflicted by structural racism, a public health crisis that can significantly damage physical and mental health and perpetuate disparities in access to health care, education, income, housing, and several other factors vital to healthy lives. This year's edition includes additional COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) publications, as well as data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population, with an enhanced focus on health equity across several key domains. RESULTS Each of the chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policymakers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Metabolic osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the proposed clinical phenotypes defined by the existence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). This study aimed to (1) investigate whether MetS and its components are associated with progression of knee OA magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features, and (2) to evaluate the interaction of MetS with menopause and progression of MRI features. METHOD 682 women from the Rotterdam Study who participated in a sub-study with knee MRI data available and 5-year follow-up were included. Tibiofemoral (TF) and patellofemoral (PF) OA features were assessed with the MRI Osteoarthritis Knee Score. MetS was quantified by the MetS severity Z-score. Generalized estimating equations were used to evaluate associations between MetS and menopausal transition and progression of MRI features. RESULTS MetS severity at baseline was associated with progression of osteophytes in all compartments, bone marrow lesions (BMLs) in the PF compartment, and cartilage defects in the medial TF compartment. Waist circumference was associated with progression of osteophytes in all compartments and cartilage defects in the medial TF compartment. High-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol levels were associated with progression of osteophytes in the medial and lateral TF compartment and glucose levels with osteophytes in the PF and medial TF compartment. No interactions were found between MetS with menopausal transition and MRI features. CONCLUSION Women with higher MetS severity at baseline showed progression of osteophytes, BMLs, and cartilage defects, indicating more structural knee OA progression after 5 years. Further studies are required to understand whether targeting MetS components may prevent the progression of structural knee OA in women.

Abstract
High-fat diet induces bone marrow inflammation and osteoarthritis phenotype in knee joint, but the underlying mechanisms is unknown. Here, we report that high-fat diet induces aberrant bone formation and cartilage degeneration in knee joint. Mechanistically, a high-fat diet increases the number of macrophages and the secretion of prostaglandins in subchondral bone, promoting bone formation. Metformin treatment is able to decrease the number of macrophages and also the level of prostaglandins induced by high-fat diet in subchondral bone. Importantly, metformin rescues aberrant bone formation and cartilage lesions by decreasing the number of osteoprogenitors and type-H vessels, which also results in relief of osteoarthritis pain response. Thus, we demonstrate prostaglandins secreted by macrophages may be a key reason for high-fat diet induced aberrant bone formation and metformin is a promising therapy for high-fat diet induced osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Nowadays, osteoarthritis (OA), a common, multifactorial musculoskeletal disease, is considered to have a low-grade inflammatory pathogenetic component. Lately, neuropsychiatric sequelae of the disease have gained recognition. However, a link between the peripheral inflammatory process of OA and the development of neuropsychiatric pathology is not completely understood. In this review, we provide a narrative that explores the development of neuropsychiatric disease in the presence of chronic peripheral low-grade inflammation with a focus on its signaling to the brain. We describe the development of a pro-inflammatory environment in the OA-affected joint. We discuss inflammation-signaling pathways that link the affected joint to the central nervous system, mainly using primary sensory afferents and blood circulation via circumventricular organs and cerebral endothelium. The review describes molecular and cellular changes in the brain, recognized in the presence of chronic peripheral inflammation. In addition, changes in the volume of gray matter and alterations of connectivity important for the assessment of the efficacy of treatment in OA are discussed in the given review. Finally, the narrative considers the importance of the use of neuropsychiatric diagnostic tools for a disease with an inflammatory component in the clinical setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe obesity is associated with complications following arthroplasty, leading surgeons to increasingly counsel patients regarding weight loss. For patients seeking arthroplasty, learning that severe obesity may be a relative contraindication to surgery can create a challenging clinical interaction. We sought to describe the self-reported health of United States (US) adults who had severe obesity and osteoarthritis (OA) to better understand patient perspectives. METHODS The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a nationally representative sample of the US population, was used to identify adult participants who had a body mass index (BMI) over 35 and an OA diagnosis. In total, 889 participants representing a US population of 9,604,722 were included. Self-reported health was dichotomized as poor to fair versus good to excellent. Analyses were weighted to produce national estimates. Associations between obesity severity and patient characteristics with self-reported health were assessed. RESULTS Of US adults with a BMI over 35 and OA diagnosis, 64% rated their health as good or better. For adults who had a BMI over 45, 55% still reported their health as good or better. The strongest predictors of self-reported health were measures of physical functioning. Only 37% of participants who had much difficulty walking a quarter mile rated their health as good or better compared to 86% without difficulty (P < .001). CONCLUSION Approximately two-thirds of patients who have severe obesity and OA do not perceive their health as compromised and consider decreased physical function as the primary driver of decreased health. This suggests that counseling about the association between obesity and overall health may improve shared decision making and that patient satisfaction metrics may be difficult to interpret in these clinical situations.

Abstract
Objective: This pilot study aimed to determine the correlation of metabolic syndrome (MetS), its components, and increased LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and total cholesterol levels with osteoarthritis (OA). In addition, our goal was to establish the association between MetS and the degree of handicap measured by the Lequesne index of functionality and severity of knee osteoarthritis. Materials and methods: The pilot study included 25 subjects with knee OA and 19 subjects without knee OA. All subjects were menopausal or premenopausal women. MetS was diagnosed according to the National Cholesterol Education Program, Adult Treatment Panel III. OA was diagnosed if Kellgren-Lawrence ≥ 2. Results: MetS was detected in 80% of subjects with OA. In the non-OA group, MetS was detected in 26% of subjects. The difference in MetS prevalence between the two groups was significant (p=0.000). The presence of each MetS component was significant in the OA group, except for central obesity, which presence was marginally significant (p=0.054). Prevalence of increased total (p=0.019) and LDL cholesterol (p=0.000) was also significant in the OA group. A significant difference between OA and the non-OA group was detected in the prevalence of all five MetS components (p=0.016). In the OA group, the Lequesne index of functionality and severity of knee osteoarthritis was not significantly altered between subjects with and without MetS. Conclusion: Metabolic syndrome, its components, increased LDL, and total cholesterol are correlated with osteoarthritis in premenopausal and menopausal women. MetS is not correlated with the degree of handicap in the knee joint measured by the Lequesne index.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Physical therapists have unique education in the comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment and treatment of chronic pain and its mechanisms. Recently, physical therapists have raised awareness regarding the impact of nutrition on promoting health and managing noncommunicable diseases. Robust evidence supports the implementation of nutrition in physical therapist education and practice. Of particular interest for the physical therapist are investigations that use dietary interventions for the treatment of chronic pain. Yet physical therapists have received little guidance regarding their role in nutrition care for pain management and may pass on opportunities to counsel their patients on the connection between nutrition and pain. Therefore, a clinical paradigm shift and unified voice within the profession is called on to encourage physical therapists to develop tailored multimodal lifestyle interventions that include nutrition care for the management of chronic pain. This Perspective describes evidence supporting the implementation of nutrition care in physical therapist practice, supports the role of nutritional pain management for physical therapists, and encourages the use of nutrition care for primary, secondary, tertiary, prevention, health promotion, and wellness related to chronic pain. To achieve these aims, this Perspective offers suggestions for how physical therapists can (1) enhance clinical decision making; (2) expand professional, jurisdictional, and personal scope of practice; (3) evolve entry-level education; and (4) stimulate new investigations in nutrition care and pain science research. In doing so, physical therapists can assert their role throughout the pain management continuum, champion innovative research initiatives, and enhance public health by reducing the impact of chronic pain. IMPACT The nutrition care process for pain management is defined as the basic duty to provide adequate and appropriate nutrition education and counseling to people living with pain. Including the nutrition care process as part of a multimodal approach to pain management provides an opportunity for physical therapists to assert their role throughout the pain management continuum. This includes championing innovative research initiatives and enhancing public health by reducing the impact of chronic pain for over 50 million Americans.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) imposes an increasing social burden due to global activity limitations, especially among the aged. Links between circulating lipids and OA have been reported; however, confounding data from observational studies have hindered causal conclusions. We used Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to evaluate the genetic causal effects of circulating apolipoproteins and lipoprotein lipids on OA risk. Genetic instruments at the genome-wide significance level (p < 5 × 10−8) were selected from genome-wide association studies (n = 393,193−441,016 individuals). Summary-level OA data were obtained from the UK Biobank (39,427 cases, 378,169 controls). Bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses used MR-Egger, weighted median, and MR-PRESSO for sensitivity analysis. Genetic predisposition to 1-SD increments of Apolipoprotein B (APOB), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was associated with a decreased risk of knee or hip OA (KHOA) (odds ratio (OR) = 0.925, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.881−0.972, p = 0.002; OR = 0.898, 95% CI: 0.843−0.957, p = 0.001) and hip OA (HOA) (OR = 0.894; 95% CI: 0.832−0.961, p = 0.002; OR = 0.870 95% CI: 0.797−0.949, p = 0.002). Genetically predicted APOB showed an association with knee OA (KOA) (OR per SD increase, 0.930, 95% CI: 0.876−0.987, p = 0.016). The OR of KOA was 0.899 (95% CI: 0.835−0.968, p = 0.005) for a 1-SD increase in LDL. Apolipoprotein A1, high-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides showed no association. Inverse MR showed no causal effect of KOA, HOA, or KHOA on these serum lipids. Distinct protective genetic-influence patterns were observed for APOB and LDL on OA, offering new insights into relationships between lipids and OA risk and a better understanding of OA etiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, heart failure, valvular disease, venous disease, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The American Heart Association, through its Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update. The 2022 Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and American Heart Association staff members. This year's edition includes data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population and an enhanced focus on social determinants of health, adverse pregnancy outcomes, vascular contributions to brain health, and the global burden of cardiovascular disease and healthy life expectancy. RESULTS Each of the chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policymakers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Abstract
Cholesterol homeostasis plays a significant role in skeletal development and the dysregulation of cholesterol-related mechanism has been shown to be involved in the development of cartilage diseases including osteoarthritis (OA). Epidemiological studies have shown an association between elevated serum cholesterol levels and OA. Furthermore, abnormal lipid accumulation in chondrocytes as a result of abnormal regulation of cholesterol homeostasis has been demonstrated to be involved in the development of OA. Although, many in vivo and in vitro studies support the connection between cholesterol and cartilage degradation, the mechanisms underlying the complex interactions between lipid metabolism, especially HDL cholesterol metabolism, and OA remain unclear. The current review aims to address this problem and focuses on key molecular players of the HDL metabolism pathway and their role in ΟΑ pathogenesis. Understanding the complexity of biological processes implicated in OA pathogenesis, such as cholesterol metabolism, may lead to new targets for drug therapy of OA patients.

Metabolic syndrome and the increased risk of medically-certified long-term sickness absence: a prospective analysis among Japanese workers. J Epidemiol 2021.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been associated with various chronic diseases which may lead to long-term sickness absence (LTSA), but there is lacking information on the direct association between MetS and LTSA. The present study aimed to investigate the all-cause and cause-specific associations between MetS and the risk of medically-certified LTSA among Japanese workers. METHOD We recruited 67,403 workers (57,276 men and 10,127 women), aged 20-59 years, of 13 companies in Japan, during their health check-ups in 2011 (11 companies) and 2014 (2 companies), and followed them up for LTSA events (≥ 30 consecutive days) until March 31, 2020. MetS was defined according to the Joint Interim Statement. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to estimate hazard ratio (HR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) for LTSA associated with MetS and its components. RESULTS During 408,324 person-years of follow-up, 2,915 workers experienced LTSA. The adjusted HR for all-cause LTSA was 1.54 (95% CI, 1.41-1.68) among those with vs without MetS. In cause-specific analysis, HRs associated with MetS significantly increased for LTSA due to overall physical disorders (1.76), cardiovascular diseases (3.16), diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (2.01), cancers (1.24), obesity-related cancers (1.35), mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders (1.28), reaction to severe stress and adjustment disorders (1.46) and external causes (1.46). The number of MetS components were also significantly associated with increased LTSA risk. CONCLUSION MetS was associated with an increase in the risk of LTSA due to various diseases among Japanese workers.

Abstract
Background: Metabolic syndrome has been associated with poorer outcomes in the immediate postoperative period following joint replacement surgery for osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to determine whether a multidisciplinary, preoperative intervention would minimize postoperative differences between people with and without metabolic syndrome who underwent joint replacement surgery for osteoarthritis. Method: A retrospective cohort study of older adults with multiple comorbidities (n = 230) attending a preoperative intervention service before lower limb joint replacement surgery. The intervention aimed to optimize the patient's health and functional reserve before surgery through weight loss, physical activity and medical management. Patient outcomes were adverse events, discharge destination and function. Health service outcomes were length of stay, hospital readmissions and emergency department presentations over a 2-year follow-up. Results: Two-thirds of participants (n = 151) had metabolic syndrome. There were no significant differences between those with and without metabolic syndrome in terms of discharge destination or adverse events during the acute hospital admission. There were no differences in function during rehabilitation but people with metabolic syndrome had significantly more adverse events (P = 0.037) during rehabilitation. In the 2 years following surgery, there were no differences in hospital readmission rates but people with metabolic syndrome had a higher observed frequency of potentially avoidable emergency department presentations (P = 0.066). Conclusions: Providing a preoperative intervention may help minimize differences between people with and without metabolic syndrome in the immediate postoperative period. However, having a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome may still adversely affect some long-term health service outcomes following joint replacement surgery.
