Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
-dGEMRIC index (magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), dGEMRIC procedure) (U1: 0 weeks, U2: 24 weeks)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
-assessment of knee pain during physical activity (after 12-15 stairs) by the study participant (visual analog scale (VAS)) (U1-U2: 0-24 weeks, 1x/week) -assessment of pain intensity by the study participant (WOMAC questionnaire, U1: 0 weeks, U2: 24 weeks) -documentation: daily intake, side effects, medication, other treatment options (study diary, U1-U2: 0-24 weeks) -physical activity behavior (BSA questionnaire, U1: 0 weeks, U2: 24 weeks) -nutritional behavior (dietary protocol, U1: 0 weeks, U2: 24 weeks) -body height, body weight, body mass index (BMI) (scale, tape measure) (U1: 0 weeks, U2: 24 weeks) -blood pressure (electronic blood pressure device) (U1: 0 weeks, U2: 24 weeks) -blood values (safety parameters) (blood uptake), U1: 0 weeks)
