Osteoarthritis is a common joint condition that most often affects the knee, hip, and back. Carrying extra weight places an extra burden on these joints and wears away the cartilage(tissue cushioning the joints) that normally protects them.
Relation between Obesity and Osteoarthritis
1. There is a clear relation between Obesity and Osteoarthritis, the more you weigh, the greater are your chances of developing Osteoarthritis.
2. Obesity leads to increased loading of the weight-bearing joint, which may be the most important mechanical contribution.
How can weight loss help to cure osteoarthritis?
1. Weight loss can ease the stress on the knees, hips, and lower back and may improve the symptoms of osteoarthritis.
2. Weight loss can impart significant improvements in pain and delay the progression of joint structural damage.
