Incidence of severe knee and hip osteoarthritis in relation to different measures of body mass: a population-based prospective cohort study

Abstract: All measures of overweight were associated with the incidence of knee osteoarthritis, with the strongest relative risk gradient observed for BMI. The incidence of hip osteoarthritis showed smaller but significant differences between normal weight and obesity. Our results support a major link between overweight and biomechanics in increasing the risk of knee and hip osteoarthritis in men and women.

“…Independent risk factors for this disorder include older age (12), female sex (13), obesity (13)(14)(15)(16), physical activity (12)(13)(14), and never having smoked (9,13,15). However, the reported association of some of these factors with an increased risk of OA or subsequent TJR has not been consistent.…”

“…In adults, increasing body mass index (BMI) and obesity result in knee pain [19], progressive physical disability [5,18], diminished health-related quality of life [18], and a clear risk of development of knee osteoarthritis [7,24,47]. Recent evidence shows that obesity in young adulthood is associated with a threefold increase in knee osteoarthritis by age 60 years [4,14,26]. Musculoskeletal comorbidities have become a recent focus of research in obese children.…”

“…We recently studied this topic for patients with hip arthritis [17]; however, it is important to evaluate it for knee OA separately, because primary OA in different joints may have a different phenotype and thus have different pathophysiological pathways. For example, high body fat is more strongly associated with knee OA than with hip OA [21]. Furthermore, different anthropometry may confer different pre-, peri-, and postoperative clinical implications.…”
