Interaction Between Age, Body Mass Index Influences the Risk of Accelerated Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) Versus Common KOA

Common KOA Accelerated KOA Adjusted Odds Ratio (95% Confidence Interval)
(REF) Accelerated KOA
All Participants (n=184) (n=52)

Low Risk Group (n=129) 110 (60%) 19 (37%) REFERENCE
Older with BMI < 35 kg/m2 (n=64) 40 (22%) 24 (46%) 3.47 (1.70, 7.10)
Younger with BMI ≥ 32.5 kg/m2 (n=43) 34 (18%) 9 (17%) 1.43 (0.58, 3.53)

Injured (n=18) (n=13)

Low Risk Group (n=14) 11 (61%) 3 (23%) REFERENCE
Older with BMI < 35 kg/m2 (n=9) 2 (11%) 7 (54%) 10.27 (1.25, 84.25)
Younger with BMI ≥ 32.5 kg/m2 (n=8) 5 (28%) 3 (23%) 1.74 (0.23, 13.23)

Un-injured (n=166) (n=39)

Low Risk Group (n=115) 99 (60%) 16 (41%) REFERENCE
Older with BMI < 35 kg/m2 (n=55) 38 (23%) 17 (44%) 2.68 (1.23, 5.86)
Younger with BMI ≥ 32.5 kg/m2 (n=35) 29 (17%) 6 (15%) 1.32 (0.47, 3.70)

Note: The model with all participants was adjusted for sex and injury. The models among those with and without an injury were adjusted for sex. The cut-off for age was 65 years. Bold font=significant odds ratios. Percentages are reported by column (within Common KOA and Accelerated KOA)
