Osteoporosis and osteoarthritis (osteoarthrosis). Anthropometric distinctions
Abstract
Anthropometric and skin-fold characteristics were studied in 27 women with symptomatic osteoporosis of the postmenopausal type and in 25 women with generalized osteoarthritis. In several aspects, important and significant differences were found between both groups. It was shown that the osteoporotic women were shorter, more slender, and had less fat, muscle girth, and strength, while the women with osteoarthritis, although of comparable age and skeletal size, were more obese and had more fat, muscle mass, and strength. These findings support the idea that osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are two different disease entities and not simple phenomena of aging and wear and tear.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
