Abstract

This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the association between metabolic syndrome and radiographichand osteoarthritis in individuals over 40 years old. 442 volunteers at and over 40 years old participated in the Vietnam Osteoporosis Study from February 2024 to June 2024. Overall, the prevalence of radiographic hand osteoarthritis in individuals over 40 years old was 20.36%. This prevalence was significantly higher in individuals with metabolic syndrome compared to those without syndrome (32.90% vs 13.59%; p < 0.001). Metabolic syndrome was statistically significantly associated with radiographic hand osteoarthritis, with an OR of 1.85 (95% CI: 1.05 – 3.25) after adjusting for confounding factors. Additionally, increased waist circumference and hyperglycemia were also associated with radiographic hand osteoarthritis with ORs of 2.06 (95% CI: 1.14 – 3.71) and 2.24 (95% CI: 1.25 – 4.02), respectively.
