Abstract
This study aims to explore the relationship between osteoarthritis and the trace elements zinc and copper and to provide a theoretical basis for research on the related mechanisms for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of osteoarthritis. We searched all the literature indexed in Web Of Science, Embase, and PubMed as of January 10, 2024, summarized the zinc and copper detection indexes in patients with osteoarthritis, obtained clinical data through literature screening, quality assessment, and data extraction, and analyzed the data using Revman 5.4. A total of 13 papers were included in this study, totaling 7983 study subjects. These were divided into osteoarthritis and healthy control groups. The results from the meta-analysis showed that in patients with osteoarthritis, circulating copper levels, but not zinc levels, were significantly higher compared to healthy individuals. The level of copper in the blood of patients with osteoarthritis is significantly higher than that of healthy people.
期刊介绍:
Biological Trace Element Research provides a much-needed central forum for the emergent, interdisciplinary field of research on the biological, environmental, and biomedical roles of trace elements. Rather than confine itself to biochemistry, the journal emphasizes the integrative aspects of trace metal research in all appropriate fields, publishing human and animal nutritional studies devoted to the fundamental chemistry and biochemistry at issue as well as to the elucidation of the relevant aspects of preventive medicine, epidemiology, clinical chemistry, agriculture, endocrinology, animal science, pharmacology, microbiology, toxicology, virology, marine biology, sensory physiology, developmental biology, and related fields.
