Summary

This study examined whether arthritis in the hands is linked to more severe arthritis in the knees and hips. Researchers used hand X-rays to assess joint damage in 479 adults aged 40 to 75 with confirmed knee or hip arthritis. The goal was to better understand how arthritis progresses across different joints.
