Given this relationship and the rising levels of obesity in the U.S. 14 , some have suggested that rising obesity rates have contributed to increasing total knee replacement use 15,16 . Crowninshield et al suggested that population growth, especially among the elderly, has led to an increasing number of joint replacements 15 .…”
