Introduction: 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.Methods: One hundred and sixty healthy, asymptomatic females (29-50 yr) underwent magnetic resonance imaging of the knee. BMD was measured at the spine, hip, total body and forearm by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, and at the calcaneus by quantitative ultrasound. BMD was tested for an association with cartilage volume, defects, and bone marrow lesions (BMLs).Results: Medial cartilage volume was positively associated with BMD at the spine, total body, femoral neck, and Ward's triangle (all p
