Several studies have suggested that increased subchondral bone turnover is a determinant of progression of osteoarthritis (OA). To test this hypothesis, the level of urinary N-terminal type I collagen telopeptides (NTx) and C-terminal type I collagen telopeptides (CTx), which are validated markers of bone resorption, was measured at 3 different time points in a subset of patients from the Chingford study.
