Structural knee MRI findings are already frequent in a general population-based birth cohort at 33 years of age
In this relatively young and asymptomatic population, subtle knee MRI findings were already frequent, especially in the patellofemoral joint. Of analyzed background and clinical parameters, higher BMI was most frequently associated with MRI findings. Based on these results, longitudinal studies are warranted to further identify risk factors and proportions of progressing MRI findings.
