Zusammenfassung
Die Arthrose ist eine multifaktorielle Erkrankung, auf die genetische, statische, physikalische, biochemische sowie nutritive Faktoren Einfluss haben. Die Pathophysiologie der Arthrose zeigt den großen Stellenwert entzündlicher Prozesse für den Knorpelabbau. Hier können Nährstoffe mit bekannter Wirkung auf den Entzündungsprozess eingreifen, wie Omega-3-Fettsäuren, Antioxidantien und Phytotherapeutika. Nutritiv sind Stoffe von Bedeutung, deren Verfügbarkeit, infolge einer unzureichenden Biosynthese oder Verfügbarkeit in der Nahrung, limitiert ist. Mögliche Wirkstoffe sind Glucosamin, Chondroitin, Vitamine und Mineralien. Da die Entwicklung einer Arthrose im Allgemeinen langsam abläuft und die Ursachen vielfältig sind, ist der Einfluss eines Nährstoffes schwer nachzuweisen. Dies spiegelt sich in der uneinheitlichen Bewertung der vorliegenden Studien wider. Hochrangige, GCP-konforme klinische Studien mit Nährstoffen sind aus finanziellen und technischen Gründen kaum durchführbar. Häufig wird deshalb der Nachweis einer Wirksamkeit durch Surrogatparameter belegt. Für die Antioxidantien wurde die Problematik dieser Messgrößen in jüngster Zeit offenbar. In diesem Review wird die Datenlage aus der verfügbaren Literatur zu den wichtigsten nutritiven Faktoren für die Entstehung der Arthrose geschildert.
Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a multifactorial disease, with relevant influences of genetic, static, physical, biochemical and nutrical factors. The pathophysiology of osteoarthritis reveals the eminent relevance of inflammatory processes for the destruction of cartilage. These processes are targets for omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and phytochemicals. Nutritional relevance is elicited by compounds with limited availability, either because of insufficient biosynthesis or deficient dietary supply. Of potential relevance are chondroitin, glucosamines, vitamins and minerals. Since, in most cases, the development of osteoarthritis is slow and causes are variable, the effect of one nutrient on this process is hard to prove. This is reflected by the ambiguous ranking of the available studies. High ranking, GCP-conform clinical studies with nutrients are rare, because of technical and financial reasons. Frequently, surrogate parameters are used for the proof of efficacy. The bias of this approach has lately become evident for antioxidants. This review presents data from the literature relating to nutritional factors with relevance for the development of osteoarthritis.
