Title
Adiposity and its metabolic consequences contribute to Achilles tendinopathy
Pain in the Achilles tendon commonly affects active individuals but is also seen in sedentary people. This thesis shows that the accumulation of excess body fat, abnormal blood lipids and glucose metabolism were associated with Achilles tendinopathy. Targeting these lifestyle factors may improve treatment outcomes for tendon injury.
