Abstract
In conclusion, IPFP volume is shown to be related to BMI, albeit the relative increase (compared with normal weight) does not appear to be proportional to that in body weight. Nonetheless, these findings support the hypothesis that the IPFP may represent a potential endocrine link between obesity and OA, with more intra-articular adipose tissue potentially releasing greater amounts of adipokines.
