Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common cause of disability in adults. The "Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI): A Knee Health Study" is a nationwide research study that will help researchers gather more information about the physical changes that occur prior to the onset of arthritis symptoms or before OA gets worse. The purpose of this study is to examine people who have knee OA or are at high risk for knee OA; information will be used to better understand how to prevent and treat knee OA Knee OA causes more health problems and medical expenses that any other form of arthritis. Symptoms of OA can range from stiffness and mild pain to severe joint pain and even disability. Previous research has shown that certain factors, such as knee pain, prior knee injury or knee surgery, OA of the hand, or obesity, may lead to knee OA. The OAI is a multicenter, observational study of knee OA that will collect information on potential biomarkers for OA and trends in OA onset and progression. The OAI will recruit and follow participants who have knee OA or are at high risk for developing knee OA for at least a four-year period and up to eight years at one of four clinical centers. Blood and urine collection, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and X-rays will be completed at each of four annual follow-up visits and alternate years for the additional four follow-up visits. A questionnaire and physical examination at screening will assess for risk factors for the development and progression of knee OA. Levels of knee pain and physical disability will be assessed at study start and at each of the follow-up visits by questionnaire and examination.

膝骨关节炎（OA）是成人致残的最常见原因。“骨关节炎倡议（OAI）：一项膝关节健康研究”是一项全国性的研究，它将帮助研究人员收集更多关于关节炎症状发作之前或OA恶化之前发生的身体变化的信息。本研究的目的是检查患有膝关节炎或膝关节炎高危人群；信息将用于更好地了解如何预防和治疗膝关节炎膝关节炎比任何其他形式的关节炎引起更多的健康问题和医疗费用。骨性关节炎的症状可以从僵硬和轻微疼痛到严重的关节疼痛甚至残疾。先前的研究表明，某些因素，如膝关节疼痛、既往膝关节损伤或膝关节手术、手部OA或肥胖，都可能导致膝关节OA。OAI是一项膝关节OA的多中心观察性研究，将收集OA的潜在生物标志物以及OA发病和进展趋势的信息。OAI将在四个临床中心之一招募并跟踪患有膝关节OA或患有膝关节OA高风险的参与者至少4年至8年。血液和尿液采集、磁共振成像（MRI）和x光检查将在每年4次随访中完成，另外4次随访将隔年进行。筛查时的问卷调查和体格检查将评估膝OA发生和进展的危险因素。膝关节疼痛和身体残疾的程度将在研究开始时和每次随访时通过问卷调查和检查进行评估。
