Knee osteoarthritis (OA) Sleep quality and OA
Future studies
• Chronic pain and sleep deprivation are common in OA
• Sleep quality à ? Knee pain• Chronic widespread pain moderated
this relationship
• Intervention studies to identify mediating biomarkers in observed associations in knee OA
• Most common joint disorder• A leading cause of disability • Shares similar metabolic risk factors
as cardio-metabolic diseases
Dietary fiber and OA
• Fiber and health risks• Plausible mechanisms• Findings in two cohort studies• Featured in NY Times, Reuters, etc.
Lifestyle Factors for the Prevention of Knee Osteoarthritis
