Summary

Background:Knee osteoarthritis is more common in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus, however it is not known whether this effect is caused by diabetes itself or concominant abdominal obesity. Objectives:The aim of this study is to determine whether type-2 diabetes itself, independent of abdominal obesity, is a risk factor for femoral cartilage, knee osteoarthritis and poor quality of life.

Patients and Methods:Female patients was enrolled in this study and divided into two groups: according to presence or absence of diabetes. Later, both the patients with and without abdominal obesity was divided into two groups according the presence of diabetes. Main Outcome measures:Clinical parameters were visual analog-scale, gait speed and short form-36. Knee radiographs were evaluated according to Kellgren Lawrance-Scale. And ultrasonography parameters were the measurements of distal femoral cartilage thickness. Sample size:126
