Effect of antioxidants on knee cartilage and bone in healthy, middle-aged subjects: a cross-sectional study

Abstract: The aim of the present study is to examine the effect of dietary antioxidants on knee structure in a cohort of healthy, middleaged subjects with no clinical knee osteoarthritis.Two hundred and ninety-three healthy adults (mean age = 58.0 years, standard deviation = 5.5) without knee pain or knee injury were selected from an existing community-based cohort. The intake of antioxidant vitamins and food sources by these individuals was estimated from a food frequency questionnaire at baseline. The cartilage volume… Show more

“…MRI of the knee was taken at baseline and again at 10 years. Wang et al (17) found vitamin C intake to be associated with a 50 % risk reduction of bone marrow lesions (OR 5 0?50, 95 % CI 0?29, 0?87, P 5 0?01) and inversely associated with tibial plateau bone area (b 5 235?5 %, 95 % CI 5 268?8, 22?3, P 5 0?04), both of which are involved in the pathogenesis of knee OA. Increased vitamin C intake has also been shown to exhibit a slight chondroprotective effect (P 5 0?08) on the development of spontaneous lesions in guinea pigs, with no such effect on the progression of surgically induced OA (18) .…”
