Bilateral sonographic measurements of small, medium, and large joints were performed in 130 healthy volunteers, stratified into 5 age groups (A, 18\u201329; B, 30\u201339; C, 40\u201349; D, 50\u201359; and E, 60\u201380 years). Quantitative synovial hypertrophy measurements and semiquantitative synovial hypertrophy, power Doppler, bone erosion (score 0\u20133), and articular cartilage (score 0\u20134) measurements were performed by a blinded radiologist using a 6\u201318\u2010MHz linear array transducer. The sonographic measurements were correlated with demographic parameters. The significant P value was set at .05.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 6500 joint recesses were studied; the mean age \u00b1 SD of the participants was 44.8 \u00b1 14.6 years, and 76.9% were women. The highest quantitative synovial hypertrophy values were found in the hip (6.4 mm) and talonavicular joint (2.6 mm). The joint recesses with a greater frequency of hypothetical pathologic semiquantitative scores were second metatarsophalangeal (78.8%) and first metatarsophalangeal (69.3%) for synovial hypertrophy, radiocarpal (17.7%) and first metatarsophalangeal (15.8%) for power Doppler, and posterior glenohumeral (23.1%) and ulnocarpal (4.2%) for bone erosion. The highest quantitative synovial hypertrophy values and the lowest semiquantitative synovial hypertrophy, power Doppler, bone erosion, and articular cartilage scores were observed in age group E (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .046). There were positive correlations between the sonographic measurements and height, age, weight, and body mass index in 30.4%, 34.8%, 43.5%, and 47.8%, respectively, of all the joint recesses studied.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sonographic changes in healthy peripheral joints were observed predominantly in the oldest group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.7863\/ultra.33.12.2087","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,25]],"date-time":"2014-11-25T21:52:54Z","timestamp":1416952374000},"page":"2087-2098","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Sonographic Assessment of Healthy Peripheral Joints"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Flavia S.","family":"Machado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jamil","family":"Natour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rogerio D.","family":"Takahashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ana Leticia P.","family":"de Buosi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rita N.
