Popis: ObjectiveTo determine in a 48-month longitudinal study the association of thigh muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and strength on progression of morphologic knee cartilage degeneration using 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).DesignSeventy Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) subjects aged 50-60 years, with no radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis (OA) and constant muscle strength over 48 months as measured by isometric knee extension testing were included. Baseline right thigh muscle CSAs were assessed on axial T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images, and extensor to flexor CSA ratios were calculated. Degenerative knee abnormalities at baseline and 48-months were graded on right knee 3T MRIs using a modified whole organ MRI score (WORMS). Statistical analysis employed Student's t-tests and multivariable regression models adjusted for age, body mass index and gender.ResultsExtension strength was significantly and positively correlated with baseline thigh muscle CSA (r=0.65, P
