PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline or first and only visit.

Population: Obese were compared to healthy weight subjects. No overweight subjects were used in this analysis. Subjects were excluded based on MRI evidence of cartilage defects, osteophytes, ligament tears, meniscal tears, or bone marrow edema.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline or first and only visit.

Population: Overweight and obese were combined based on similarities found in literature. Subjects were excluded based on MRI evidence of cartilage defects, osteophytes, ligament tears, meniscal tears, or bone marrow edema.
