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

“…Multiple linear regression was used to examine associations between sociodemographic factors, total body BMD and BMD related to specific skeletal sites (including femoral (femoral neck and trochanter), trunk, pelvis and total spine), and the three WOMAC subscales (pain, stiffness, and physical function).Results: After controlling for sociodemographic variables, total body and specific BMD measures did not predict pain. 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. …”
