Open Access Abstract Introduction To determine if structural bone parameters obtained from dual energy X-ray absorptiometry DXA contribute to the prediction of progression of hip osteoarthritis OA and to test if the difference between the most affected O A hip and the contralateral hip adds to this prediction. Methods The study group involves a prospective cohort of 189 patients that met the American College of Rheumatology ARC classification criteria for hip osteoarthritis. Progression was defined as 20 joint space narrowing or total hip replacement within a
