TL;DR: In community‐dwelling older women, edentulism was associated with increased risks of CVD and total mortality, and presence of periodontitis, which is more prevalent than edentULism, was linked with 17% higher mortality rate.

TL;DR: The Osteoarthritis Initiative will help us understand these associations and allow us to evaluate new biomarkers for symptomatic incident and progression of established knee OA as well as the relationship of obesity and generalized OA.

TL;DR: It is suggested that estrogen-alone use in postmenopausal women results in a modest but sustained reduction in the frequency of joint pain.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality over the course of 10 years among the more than 160,000 postmenopausal women in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) in relation to self-reported rheumatoid arthritis (RA), taking disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) positivity, rhematoid factor (RF) positive, CVD risk factors, joint pain, and inflammation (white blood

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the prospective association of dietary fat intake with radiographic progression of knee OA and found significant positive relationships of total fat and saturated fatty acids (SFA) intakes with joint space width loss.
