Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is one of the main problems of an aging society in terms of incidence, impairment to the quality of daily living (QOL), and economics. The main aim of this study was to verify the usefulness, in practical terms, of applying the existing diagnostic criteria of early knee osteoarthritis (EKOA). The secondary objective of this project was to evaluate the clinical progression of healthy subjects (HS) at risk of osteoarthritis and of patients with diagnosed EKOA.

The role of serum lipid and inflammatory biomarkers in the origin and development of the disease is not clear, although it could have important implications for diagnosis and treatment. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate differences of serum lipid and inflammatory biomarkers with knee EOA in comparison with matched controls, in order to determine the role of these factors in the origin of EOA.
