Key Points

  • To examine the relationship between body composition and pain or physical function in individuals with hip osteoarthritis.
  • Cross-sectional sample of patients with hip osteoarthritis
  • Assessment of body composition profiles
  • Evaluation of patient-reported pain and physical function
  • No association was found between body composition and pain levels
  • No significant differences in physical function were observed among different body composition profiles

Abstract

Body composition was not associated with pain or patient-reported physical function in this cross-sectional sample of individuals with hip OA. Future research could incorporate more precise measures of muscle mass and explore functional phenotypes, including those based on muscle strength, to better understand symptom burden.
