Associations between folate intake and knee pain, inflammation mediators and comorbid conditions in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis
Folate intake was linked with reduced knee pain, lower levels of adipokines, and a decreased prevalence of comorbid conditions in individuals with knee OA, implying that folate consumption may be associated with an improvement in knee OA symptoms, but further research is needed to verify this association.
