This confirmed the feasibility of using a screening questionnaire for eliciting population-based estimates of OA. In France, it increases with age and is greater among women above the age of 50. The geographical disparity of hip and knee OA parallels the distribution of obesity. Study registration ID number 906297 at http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/.

Autoantibodies reactive to α36-50Cit₃₈,₄₂ and β60-74Cit₆₀,₇₂,₇₄ form two distinct, non-overlapping subfamilies of ACPA that, together, cover practically all the ACPA reactivity to citrullinated fibrinogen and to CCP2 antigens. In established RA, anti-β60-74Cit₆₀,₇₂,₇₄ autoantibodies show diagnostic indexes similar to those of anti-CCP2.

Our study confirms the relationship between OA and HD, particularly as defined based on the HTE angle.
