N2 - The association between osteoporosis and osteoarthritis (OA) is controversial. Although previous studies have shown total body, lower limb, spinal and knee BMD and knee cartilage volume to be positively associated, the relationship between other distant site-specific measures of BMD and other knee structures is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the associations between BMD at eight skeletal sites, and knee structure in asymptomatic young to middle-aged females without any clinical signs of OA.
