“…[14] The study used 10 as the threshold, which was reported in a previous article. [2] Smokers was defined as individuals who had smoked at least 1 cigarette per day for at least 2 years. Individuals were defined as alcohol consumers if they drank alcohol at least once a week for more than 1 year.…”

“…[1] OA is responsible for activity limitations, particularly walking, and affects participation and quality of life. [2] However, the etiology of OA is not fully understood. There is an evidence that genetic risk factors play important roles in the development of OA.…”

“…The Egyptian study revealed more severe knee OA patients with the B\b genotype, while patients with the b\b genotype showed less severe disability and radiological severity than those with the B\b genotype. 23 Patients with the B\B genotype had the least disability, and their radiological findings were the mildest. This means that patients with the B\b genotype had worse clinical and radiological findings than other those with the B\B and b\b genotypes.…”

“…The Egyptian and Indian case-control study included 50 primary knee OA patients (Group I) fulfilling the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria of knee OA 22 who attended Benha University hospital and ELMC Lucknow hospital Uttar Pradesh, India respectively, together with 50 age and sex-matched apparently healthy controls (Group II) with no symptoms or signs on clinical examination or radiographic changes indicative of knee OA or other joint disease. 20,23 Our interesting observation was that Indian study seems to draw its inspiration from Egyptian therefore patient cohort, methodology, criterion for inclusion /exclusion seem to mirror each other. Both studies excluded the patient having isolated patello-femoral OA; secondary OA due to trauma or deformity; metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders, or Cushing syndrome; or renal failure or were undergoing dialysis; infectious disorders such as septic arthritis, viral arthritis, or fungal arthritis; ,inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis, systematic lupus erythematosus, and sero-negative arthritis; malignancy; bilateral knee replacements; or relatives included in the study.…”

“…Many previous studies have reported an association between osteoporosis and genetic variants using genome-wide association studies and candidate gene association studies. Especially, there are many reports of SNPs associated with genes predicted to be involved in osteoporosis prevalence [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. However, most genetic variants are related to inflammation [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], extracellular matrix mechanisms [ 29 , 30 ], and vitamin D metabolism [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ].…”
