Abstract
ObjectiveTo evaluate the association of baseline frequent knee bending activities with the prevalence and progression of cartilage and meniscal abnormalities over 3 years and to assess the effect of frequent knee bending on the different knee compartments with 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).MethodsWe studied 115 subjects without radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA) but with risk factors for OA from the Osteoarthritis Initiative database. The inclusion criteria at baseline were age 45-55 years, body mass index of 19-27 kg/m(2) , Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index pain score of 0, and Kellgren/Lawrence grade
