Epidemiology of osteoarthritis.

Evolving definitions of osteoarthritis and improvements in risk factor measurement that use advanced imaging, systemic and local biomarkers, and improved methods for measuring symptoms and their impact can help elucidate mechanisms and identify potential areas for intervention or prevention.
