In Australia, musculoskeletal conditions like osteoarthritis and back pain are responsible for much pain and disability. Although until recently these were considered to be purely due to wear and tear, Associate Professor Wluka, a rheumatologist, has shown that these are not simply due to overuse and loading but metabolic factors also play a role. This award will enable the role of these factors to be examined and new therapies tested in clinical trials, providing evidence to improve the management of these conditions.

在澳大利亚，骨关节炎和背部疼痛等肌肉骨骼疾病是导致许多疼痛和残疾的原因。尽管直到最近，这些都被认为是纯粹由于磨损造成的，但风湿病学家Wluka副教授已经表明，这些不仅仅是由于过度使用和负荷，代谢因素也起到了作用。这一奖项将使这些因素的作用得到检验，并在临床试验中测试新的疗法，为改善对这些疾病的管理提供证据。
