We studied the relation between performance of activities of daily living and X-ray findings of osteoarthritis of the knee in aged persons. We made Covariance Structure Analysis models of knee pain, X-ray findings and bone mineral density as measured by computed X-ray densitometry. The subjects were 257 women aged from 47 to 88 years who were outpatients at an orthopedic clinic. The best-fit model indicated that loss of bone mineral density in metacarpals was associated with X-ray findings of knee-joint degeneration, as well as with knee pain. No relationship was found between knee-joint degeneration and knee pain. These results suggest that bone mineral density should be taken into consideration when interpreting X-ray findings of knee pain. This model incorporates the effects of degeneration of the subchondral bone. In summary, we should use measurements of bone mineral density along with X-ray findings for the diagnosis and treatment of knee osteoarthritis. We may be able to precisely predict knee pain caused by osteoarthritis, by analysis of a model that includes a lesion in joint cartilage.
