Aims. This study investigated the influence of body mass index (BMI)
on patients’ function and quality of life ten years after total
knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patients and Methods. A total of 126 patients who underwent unilateral TKA in 2006
were prospectively included in this retrospective study. They were
categorized into two groups based on BMI: < 30 kg/m. 2. (control)
and ≥ 30 kg/m. 2. (obese). Functional outcome was assessed
using the Knee Society Function Score (KSFS), Knee Society Knee
Score (KSKS), and Oxford Knee Score (OKS). Quality of life was assessed
using the Physical (PCS) and Mental Component Scores (MCS) of the 36-Item
Short-Form Health Survey. Results. Patients in the

A total of 445 consecutive primary total knee
replacements (TKRs) were followed up prospectively at six and 18 months
and three, six and nine years. Patients were divided into two groups:
non-obese (body mass index (BMI) <
30 kg/m. 2. ) and obese
(BMI ≥ 30 kg/m. 2. ). The
Objectives. The objective of this study was to investigate the association of four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the cannabinoid receptor 2 (CNR2) gene, gene-obesity interaction, and haplotype combination with osteoporosis (OP) susceptibility. Methods. Chinese patients with OP were recruited between March 2011 and December 2015 from our hospital. In this study, a total of 1267 post-menopausal female patients (631 OP patients and 636 control patients) were selected. The mean age of all subjects was 69.2 years (sd 15.8). A generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) model and logistic regression model were used to examine the interaction between SNP and

The significance of weight in the indications
for unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) is unclear. Our hypothesis was
that weight does not affect the long-term rate of survival of UKRs. We undertook a retrospective study of 212 UKRs at a mean follow-up
of 12 years (7 to 22). The patients were distributed according to
body mass index (BMI; <
The ten-year rates of survival were similar in the two weight
subgroups (≥ 82 kg: 93.5% (95% confidence interval (CI) 66.5 to
96.3); <
82 kg: 92.5% (95% CI 82.5 to 94.1)) and also in the
two BMI subgroups (≥ 30 kg/m2: 92% (95% CI 82.5 to 95.3);
<
30 kg/m2: 94% (95% CI 78.4 to 95.9)). Multimodal
regression analysis revealed that weight plays a part in reducing
the risk of revision with a relative risk of 0.387, although this
did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.662). The results
relating weight and BMI to the clinical outcome were not statistically
significant. Thus, this study confirms that weight does not influence
the long-term rate of survival of UKR. Cite this article:
