Associations of METS-VF and BRI with risk of osteoarthritis in patients with diabetes or prediabetes: evidence from the NHANES 1999–2020
METS-VF and BRI are independent predictors of OA risk in patients with diabetes or prediabetes, but their combined application does not enhance predictive value. This suggests that in clinical practice, for OA risk assessment in patients with diabetes or prediabetes, either BRI or METS-VF can be selected individually, without the necessity of evaluating both simultaneously.
