Two pages on PainSci cite Arendt 2007: 1. The Complete Guide to Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome 2. Is Knee Pain More Common in Women?
PainSci notes on Arendt 2007:
A really clear, intelligent survey of the available evidence regarding gender differences in patellar pain ... with a sassy title.

Patellofemoral (PF) injury and disease are commonly thought to be more prevalent in females. Literature to support this conclusion, however, is inadequate. This article investigates possible sex differences in three categories of PF disorders: PF pain, PF instability, and isolated PF arthritis.
