@entity571 ( @entity571 ) of the knee is common in the aging population. In @entity1 with @entity571 , @entity79 ( @entity79 ) is usually increased, but the @entity174 rate does not appear to be systematically lower than in age-matched healthy controls. The aim of our study was to describe hip @entity79 in @entity1 presenting with unilateral symptomatic knee @entity571 . @entity1 with @entity158 were prospectively included in a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the structure-modifying efficacy of an oral @entity12006 treatment on the knee joint. The majority of these @entity1 underwent additional measurements of @entity79 of their lumbar spine and both hips using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The hip @entity79 values of the leg with symptomatic knee @entity571 were compared with the contralateral hip. One-hundred and sixty-one @entity1 (81 @entity1 and 80 @entity1 ; aged 62.6 +/- 9.2 yr, range 40-82 yr) underwent DXA. The median total hip @entity79 was higher than in age-matched controls, but @entity1 had a relatively lower hip @entity79 in the knee @entity571 -affected leg (p = 0.001). Our knee @entity571 @entity1 rarely presented with concomitant @entity170 , but usually had a relatively lower hip @entity79 on the affected leg. Therefore, we suggest that the hip of the leg with symptomatic knee @entity571 should be measured if DXA is acquired only at one hip. Future studies have to assess whether the relative decrease of @entity79 at the hip of the leg with knee @entity571 might influence @entity174 incidence.

XXXX with knee osteoarthritis have lower total hip @entity79 in the symptomatic leg than in the contralateral hip.
