PHILADELPHIA -- Losing weight can prevent osteoarthritis of the knee or improve function for those who already have it, researchers said here.
Individuals who lost weight in a long-term observational study were at nearly 30% lower risk of developing knee osteoarthritis (HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.49 to 1.01), Lauren Abbate, a third-year medical student at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, reported at the American College of Rheumatology meeting.
