Obesity is a risk factor for the incidence of osteoarthritis (OA). The progression of OA on weight-bearing joints (hip, knees, ankles) can establish a vicious cycle together with obesity. Carrying extra weight causes more stress on your joints and tends to accelerate the onset of OA. Physical activity is key to weight loss, and joint pain associated with arthritis can make it even more challenging to drop those extra pounds.
