Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread degenerative joint disease that causes a considerable socioeconomic burden. Despite progress in genetic and environmental insights, early diagnosis is still limited by the lack of evident symptoms during the initial phases and accurate biomarkers. This study aims to identify plasma proteins associated with future risk of OA and develop a predictive model.
