Disabling knee pain--another consequence of obesity: results from a prospective cohort study
Jinks, Clare; Jordan, Kelvin; Croft, Peter
Abstract
Obesity is linked to knee osteoarthritis (OA) and knee pain. These are disabling problems that are more prevalent in older adults. No prospective study has estimated the impact of excess weight avoidance on the occurrence of knee pain in the general older population. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of overweight and obesity on the onset and progression of knee pain and disability in older adults living in the community.
