Abstract:

 Background: As a complex multifactorial condition, knee osteoarthritis has been considered as a leading cause of disabilities. Dyslipidemia is a metabolic component that can probably play a role in knee osteoarthritis development and comorbidities; however, this relationship is still debated. The present study was carried out in order to figure out the prevalence of dyslipidemia among knee osteoarthritis patients and to compare their abnormal serum lipid components with non-exposed individuals.Patients and methods: A total of 60 patients with knee osteoarthritis and 60 non-exposed (without knee osteoarthritis) individuals were studied in a prospective cohort study that was conducted from March 2018 to May 2019. The patients were chosen from those who referred to the Rheumatology Division in Sulaymaniyah, the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. EULAR and ACR diagnostic and classification criteria and radiographic confirmation for definite osteophyte were utilized to diagnose the primary knee osteoarthritis. Required data were collected using a questionnaire, taking blood samples and by conducting several laboratory tests.Results: The mean age of the patients with knee osteoarthritis was 51.8 years. Female-to-male ratio was 2.1:1. It was seen that dyslipidemia increased two folds among patients with knee osteoarthritis than the non-exposed subjects. Patients and non-exposed subjects were significantly different in terms of dyslipidemia prevalence (p<0.013). Furthermore, all the lipid components were significantly abnormal in those with knee osteoarthritis.Conclusion: Dyslipidemia is prevalent among knee osteoarthritis patients, and there is a significant association between knee osteoarthritis and high-density lipoprotein, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and triglyceride. Dyslipidemia prevention may reduce the development of knee osteoarthritis and cardiovascular comorbidities.
