About this study

Official title: The Relationship Between Physical Activity and Radiographic Osteoarthritis Worsening: Wuchuan Osteoarthritis Study

Wuchuan Osteoarthritis Study is a population-based longitudinal study of natural history of knee osteoarthritis and its risk factors. At baseline and follow-up visits, IPA-Q questionnaire and a radiographs at tibiofemoral (TF) joints will be taken in order to assess the relationship between physical activity and radiographic osteoarthritis worsening.

Read the detailed description

1025 residents aged ≥ 50 years will be recruited using door-to-door enumeration in randomly selected rural communities in Wuchuan, China, and will be followed in 3 years. At baseline and follow-up visits, subjects will complete a home interview (including, but not limited to, socio-demographic factors, physical activity level using IPA-Q questionnaire,WOMAC questionnaire) and have a weight-bearing posteroanterior semiflexed view of radiographs at tibiofemoral (TF) joints. Radiographic osteoarthritis (ROA) worsening for a knee is defined if its Kellgren and Lawrence (K/L) grade increases by at least 1 grade except for the change from 0 to 1 during follow-up. The relationship between level of physical activity and ROA worsening will be assessed.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • level of physical activityOther

    According to the result of IPA-Q questionnaire, participants are divided in three groups: low level, moderate level, high level of physical activity.

Wuchuan residentsAll residents that meet the criteria can be enrolled in this group, receiving a home interview (including IPA-Q to assess the level of physical activity) and a weight-bearing posteroanterior semiflexed view of radiographs at tibiofemoral (TF) joints at baseline and 3 years later.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. worsening of radiographic osteoarthritis

    The tibiofemoral radiograph of both knee joint will be taken at baseline and in 3 years. Knee radiographs will be read by one investigator according to Kellgren and Lawrence (K/L) criteria. A knee will be defined as ROA worsening if its K/L grade increased by at least 1 grade except for the change from 0 to 1 during follow-up.

    Measured: 3 years after enrollment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index

    The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) will be assessed at baseline and in 3 years, from which symptoms of patients can be estimated.

    Measured: 3 years after enrollment
