Weight Loss Might Not Curb Knee Arthritis

Losing weight may not help prevent the progression of knee osteoarthritis, a new study suggests.

Researchers looked at more than 2,600 people with the knee ailment who were at high risk for the condition because they were overweight or obese or had other risk factors such as knee pain or previous knee injuries. Participants were given a physical examination and hip bone mineral test and had X-rays taken of both legs at the start of the study and of their knees again after 30 months.  Click here for full article.
