Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most frequent joint disease

In the U.S. about 27 million suffer from symptomatic

osteoarthritis1

Affects nearly 50% of patients 75 years and older2

• results in long-term disability • enormous economical health

care cost burden3

Obesity: modifiable risk factor for OA

Weight loss slows OA1

Improvement of clinical symptoms2

Is a higher degree of weight loss associated with improved cartilage

health?

Pain

Obese and overweight patients with risk factors or mild to moderate radiographic evidence for OA:

• protective aspect of weight loss on cartilage

• patients with >10% weight loss benefit significantly more than patients with little or no weight loss

• potentially weight loss can prevent end stage OA

Background

Loading = essential for normal cartilage development If excessive, may lead to degeneration over

time

Association of exercise with OA development is unclear Detrimental, beneficial, no effect on articular

cartilage

1Jones G, et al. 2Vanwanseele B, et al. 3Spector TD, et al. 4Cheng Y, et al. 5Rogers LQ, et al. 6Roos EM, et al. 7Chakravarty EF, et al. (See Reference Page)

Objective

To evaluate the effects of exerciseon knee cartilage

in middle-aged, asymptomatic subjects with and without OA risk factors

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY SCALE FOR THE ELDERLY

3 domains of physical activity over last 7 days Leisure, household, and occupational activities

Leisure ActivitiesSitting, walking, light, moderate, strenuous sport/recreation,

muscle strength training

Sedentary Moderate Exercisers StrenuousExercisers

EXERCISE LEVEL CLASSIFICATION

Color Map

Sedentary Light-moderate StrenuousExerciser Exerciser

Results

Strenuous exercisers = ↑ T2

Associated with more degenerated cartilage

Subjects with knee OA risk factors:

Mild - moderate exercisers = ↓ T2 values

Indicative of healthier cartilage

CONCLUSIONS

In line with American Heart Association Recommendations for Physical Activity in Adults150 minutes per week of moderate exercise or 75 minutes per week of vigorous exercise (or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity). Thirty minutes a day, five times a week is an easy goal to rememberAvoid too much high impact activity !
