Usually, obesity is linked to an increased risk of chronic diseases. Its impact on the musculoskeletal system includes both inflammatory and degenerative conditions with a big burden resulting from osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis popularly known as (OA) is a well-known chronic joint condition. Generally, a joint is where two bones meet or come together. On the other hand, cartilage is a protective tissue that covers the end of the bones. Therefore, with osteoarthritis, this cartilage normally breaks down, making the joint’s bones rub together. When this happens, it causes stiffness, pain, and other symptoms.
Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disorder with symptoms in the hands, knees, hips, back, and neck. It is unclear exactly how excess weight influences Osteoarthritis. Clearly, being overweight increases the load placed on the joints such as the knee, which increases stress and could possibly hasten the breakdown of cartilage. For example, it is estimated that a force of nearly three to six times one’s body weight is exerted across the knee while walking; an increase in body weight increases the force by this amount.
Fat is chemically active and constantly releases inflammation-causing proteins. These proteins travel through your whole body and make it a little inflamed everywhere, including in your joints.Constant, low-grade inflammation makes your joints more likely to develop Osteoarthritis. And joints not loaded by weight are just as vulnerable.Excess fat places a mechanical load on cartilage and bone that “activates” those structures. Meaning, the load prompts the release of even more chemicals that cause joint destruction. The risk of osteoarthritis increases with age. Women are more likely to develop osteoarthritis. Some people inherit a tendency to develop osteoarthritis. Carrying extra body weight contributes to osteoarthritis in several ways, and the more you weigh, the greater your risk.
