Replacing Stationary and Physical Activity Time Is Associated With 2-Year Improvements in Clinical Outcomes in Individuals With Varying Knee Osteoarthritis Severity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to investigate the longitudinal association of replacing stationary time (ST) with either light (LPA) or moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) physical activity and replacing LPA with MVPA on 2-year clinical outcomes in individuals with varying severities of knee osteoarthritis. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study used isotemporal substitution models to investigate the association of replacing 10-60 min of ST with LPA or MVPA and of LPA with MVPA on Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index pain, stiffness, function, and gait speed at 2 years. Device-based stationary and physical activities were monitored using accelerometry within the Osteoarthritis Initiative cohort (n = 848). All analyses were completed separately for mild-to-moderate (Kellgren-Lawrence grade = 1-2) and severe (Kellgren-Lawrence grade = 3-4) knee osteoarthritis groups. RESULTS: In individuals with mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis, substituting 30-60 min of ST or LPA with MVPA improved pain and gait speed at 2 years but worsened stiffness. Replacing 60 min of ST with LPA improved Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index function. For severe osteoarthritis, substituting 30-60 min of ST or LPA with MVPA led to worsened Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index pain and function at 2 years, whereas substituting ST or LPA with MVPA minimally impacted stiffness. Improvements in gait speed were observed with 10-to-60-min ST or LPA substitutions with MVPA. CONCLUSION: Stationary and physical activity substitutions had varying longitudinal effects in individuals with mild-to-moderate versus severe knee osteoarthritis. Individuals with mild-to-moderate and severe knee osteoarthritis may require differing physical activity prescription to improve functional and overall health outcomes. Significance/Implications: These findings underscore the importance of severity-specific physical activity recommendations to support clinical outcomes in knee osteoarthritis management.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
