Osteoarthritis (OA) is the number eight disease causes Years of Disability in developing countries. OA worsen life quality, from movement limitation until inability to perform normal daily routines. Obesity is one of the risk factor of OA. The doubles increasing trend of obesity from 1980, might possibly causes the escalation of OA case. However, there is still no study that explains the correlation between OA grade, especially knee OA, with Body Mass Index (BMI). The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is correlation between knee osteoarthritis (OA) grade with Body Mass Index (BMI) in outpatients of Orthopaedic and Traumatology department RSUD Dr. Soetomo. This study was cross-sectional study with analitical observational design and survey was the method to determine whether there is correlation between knee OA grade and BMI. Height and weight measurement and also knee x-ray reading were performed to determine the BMI and knee OA grade. The BMI categories that were used were based on standard from Health Department of Republic of Indonesia, while the grading system that were used were based on Kellgren-Lawrence’s grading system. Populations in this study were taken from the outpatients of Orthopaedic and Traumatology Department RSUD Dr. Soetomo during August until November 2015. After statistic test using Spearman correlation test was done, the result was p=0,822. It can be concluded that there was no significant correlation between knee OA grade and BMI. Furthermore, knee OA grade was not affected by BMI only, but also other risk factors as well.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disorder that is associated with significant morbidity, disability, and medical costs, particularly in its advanced stages. While the cause of knee OA remains unclear, it has been associated with various risk factors, such as age, sex, genetic predisposition, biomechanical, and obesity. Pain in osteoarthritis occurs due to combination of various factors. Pain significantly increases the medical and non medical cost in OA. Data showed that obesity will increase the mechanical stress and pain of knee OA. However, uncertainty remains regarding potential relationship between body mass index (BMI) and pain in osteoarthritis. Moreover, since obesity is one of modifiable and preventable risk factors for the onset and progression of the disease, it is important to know the correlation between BMI and severity of pain in knee OA.Objectives: To investigate the relationship between body mass index and severity of joint pain in knee osteoarthritis.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted and subjects were osteoarthritis patients in rheumatology clinic of Sardjito general hospital. Body mass index and visual analogue scale (VAS) score were measured. Correlation between BMI and VAS score were analyzed by bivariate correlation test.Results: There were 80 patients with osteoarthritis who participated in the study. Mean BMI was 26.36 +4.23 kg/m2 and VAS score was 52.40+24.53 mm. The correlation test showed that there was a positive but non significant correlation between BMI and VAS scores (r = 0,11; p = 0,33).Conclusion: There was a positive but non significant correlation between body mass index and the severity of joint pain in knee osteoarthritis.

Objectives: The present research aimed to evaluate the relationship of supra patella effusion with pain and disability in patients with knee osteoarthritis by Ultrasonography (US). Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 60 patients with knee OA (Mean±SD score of body mass index: 29.81±5.64 kg/m2 and age: 50.48±7.57 years) were selected by nonprobability sampling method. Supra patella effusion was evaluated using an US. All study subjects completed the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) for pain and disability outcomes, respectively. To evaluate the relationship between effusion, disability, and pain, the Pearson’s correlation coefficient was employed.  Results: There was a poor but significant relationship between the area of effusion (r=0.27, P=0.03), the thickness of effusion (r=0.32, P=0.01), with pain. No correlation was found between the trace of effusion (r=-0.08, P=0.5) and pain. The area of effusion (r=0.1, P=0.17), the thickness of effusion (r=0.08, P=0.51), and the trace of effusion (r=0.0, P=0.9) were not correlated with disability.  Discussion: The effusion of supra patella was slightly correlated with pain. In contrast, the effusion of supra patella demonstrated no correlation with disability.

Background: Canes have been recommended as walking aids for knee osteoarthritis to reduce the loading on the affected knee. Patients are usually recommended to hold the cane in the contralateral hand to the affected knee. Nevertheless, some patients prefer to hold the cane ipsilateral to the affected knee. However, the effect of using ipsilateral or contralateral tripod cane on functional mobility in patients with knee osteoarthritis is still unknown Objective: To compare the immediate effect of ipsilateral and contralateral tripod cane usage on functional mobility in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis Method: This cross-sectional study involved 30 overweight or obese patients with symptomatic unilateral or bilateral knee osteoarthritis (Kellgren Lawrence grade 2 and 3) who never use a cane. Functional mobility was evaluated with Time Up and Go test in three conditions; without walking aid, with tripod cane contralateral and ipsilateral to the more painful knee. Results: The TUG time of aid-free walking is 4.75 (p < 0.001, 95% CI 3.79 - 5.71) seconds faster than ipsilateral cane use and 6.69 (p < 0.001, 95%CI 5.35 - 8.03) seconds faster than contralateral cane use. The TUG time of ipsilateral cane use is 1,94 (95% CI, 1.13 - 2.79) seconds faster than contralateral. Conclusion: Patients with symptomatic knee OA who use tripod cane ipsilateral to the more painful knee have higher functional mobility than the contralateral.

Background Increasing evidence highlights potential associations between varus thrust and health domains associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the association between varus thrust and 2 subcategories—“pain and stiffness” and “activities of daily living (ADL)”—of the Japanese Knee Osteoarthritis Measure (JKOM). Design This was a cross-sectional study. Methods In total, 296 outpatients with knee OA visiting orthopedic clinics were enrolled. The inclusion criteria were age ≥50 years, medial knee OA and Kellgren-Lawrence (K/L) grade ≥1 in one or both knees, and the ability to walk independently. Standard posterior-anterior knee radiographs were measured for varus alignment. Participants were video recorded while walking and were evaluated for the presence or absence of varus thrust. Pain and stiffness of the knee joint and ADL were evaluated using the JKOM. Multivariate regressions (outcomes: pain and stiffness and ADL; predictor variable: varus thrust) were performed. Results Varus thrust was present in 46 (16.2%) of 284 patients. Multivariate regression analyses demonstrated that varus thrust is independently associated with pain and stiffness, adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, K/L grade, and varus alignment (β=.17, P=.005). However, the association between varus thrust and ADL was not significant (β=.11, P=.058). Based on sensitivity analyses, including participants of K/L grade 1 had little influence on this analysis. Limitations Only 16.2% of participants had a varus thrust. Moreover, a cause-effect relationship between varus thrust and pain and stiffness remains unknown due to the cross-sectional design of this study. Conclusions Varus thrust was associated with pain and stiffness in patients with medial knee OA. However, the association between varus thrust and ADL did not reach significance.

A community-based cross-sectional study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of undernutrition using body mass index (BMI) among 2–6-year Santal preschool children of Purulia District, West Bengal, India. A total of 251 (116 boys and 135 girls) children from 12 villages were measured. Commonly used indicators, that is, weight, height, and BMI, were used to evaluate the nutritional status. More boys (59.5%) than girls (53.3%), based on BMI, were undernourished. Significant age differences in weight (F=44.29∗∗∗; df=3), height (F=58.48∗∗∗; df=3), and BMI (F=3.52∗∗∗; df=3) among boys were observed. Similarly, significant differences between ages in mean weight (F=56.27∗∗∗; df=3), height (F=64.76∗∗∗; df=3), and BMI (F=2.62∗∗∗; df=3) were observed among the girls. The present study revealed that the nutritional status of the preschool children of Santal tribal community of these villages was poor with very high rate of thinness in boys and girls (59.5% and 53.3%, resp.).
