Increasing evidence implicates metabolic dysfunction in the development and progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Large-scale 'omics' studies, particularly metabolomics, have the potential to answer many questions relating to the pathogenesis of so-called 'metabolic OA' and other OA phenotypes, and could be key to the identification of novel biomarkers for these conditions.
