Type II diabetes mellitus and incident osteoarthritis of the hand: a population-based case–control analysis
Key Take-Away:
It has been attributed that diabetes mellitus (DM) and osteoarthritis (OA) are associated with each other via diabetic peripheral neuropathy leading to muscle weakness and joint laxity in OA. Hence, to expand knowledge in this regard, this study was employed further to show whether T2DM- type II diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for HOA- osteoarthritis of the hand or not.
Emerging evidence suggests that diabetes may be a risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA).
