Associations between Bone Mineral Density and WOMAC Scores in Healthy Individuals: Insights from the Qatar Biobank by Al-Hamdani, Mohammed

“…However, BMD measures significantly contributed to predicting stiffness after controlling for sociodemographic variables (R2 = 0.065, ΔF(7, 1724) = 3.34, p = 0.002), with a higher total body BMD associated with increased stiffness and a higher trunk BMD associated with decreased stiffness. Total body BMD measures also significantly contributed to predicting compromised physical function (R2 = 0.091, ΔF(7, 1724) = 3.762, p < 0.001) after controlling for sociodemographic variables, with a higher total body BMD associated with an increase in compromised physical function.Conclusion: Total body BMD seems to be a more important predictor of stiffness and physical function than specific skeletal sites BMD measures. …”
