Abstract

Purpose: Knee and hip OA are largely mechanical driven, but it has been hypothesized that hand OA and multiple joint OA (MJOA) may be associated with abnormal metabolic processes such as inflammation, insulin resistance, dysglycemia and adipokines. We tested this hypothesis in a sample of the Osteoarthritis Initative (OAI).
