The aim of this study was to explore the associations between PA or self-reported joint function and molecular biomarkers of cartilage and inflammation in individuals with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis (OA). Specific objectives were to explore the correlations between (1) the change over 3 months in self-reported PA/joint function and the change in molecular biomarkers (2) objectively measured PA and molecular biomarkers measured at 3-month follow-up.</p><p><strong>Design: </strong>Working age participants (n = 91) were recruited from a cluster randomized controlled trial. Self-reported PA, joint function, and serum samples were collected at baseline and after 3 months. Serum concentrations of the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP) and the cartilage markers Alanine-Arginine-Glycine-Serine (ARGS)-aggrecan, cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), and type II collagen C2C were analyzed by immunoassays. Objectively measured PA (steps/day) was collected during 12 weeks from activity trackers used by 53 participants.
