Differences in fatty infiltration in thigh muscles and physical function between people with and without knee osteoarthritis and similar body mass index: a cross-sectional study
People with knee OA present higher levels of intraMAT and poorer physical function compared to those without knee OA. These findings highlight the need for further research to explore the clinical significance of intraMAT and its potential impact on physical function in this population.
