Scientists probe hidden Fat's role in worsening arthritis
NCT ID NCT03678831
Summary
This study aimed to understand how different types of body fat might contribute to knee osteoarthritis. Researchers compared fat from inside the bone marrow to fat from under the skin in 45 postmenopausal women who were having knee replacement surgery. The goal was to see if bone marrow fat produces more harmful substances that damage joints, especially in women who are overweight or have diabetes.
