This paper synthesizes the literature that supports the ideain which the Western diet and inactivity are proinflammatory, whereas a plant-based diet and activity are anti-inflammatory,and that low-grade inflammation and oxidative stress underlying osteoarthritis often coexist with lifestyle-related risk factorsand conditions.

This approachprovides an informed cost effective basis for prevention, potential reversal, and management of signs and symptoms of chronicosteoarthritis and has implications for research paradigms in osteoarthritis.

1. Introduction

Best practice guidelines for chronic osteoarthritis focuson self-management, that is, weight control and physicalactivity, and on pharmacological support for inflammationand pain [1–5]. Despite such guidelines, authorities in thefield report a lack of efficacy of current treatments andassociated adverse effects [6], with some proposing evengreater attention to self-management [7]. Further, althoughlow-grade inflammation underlies chronic osteoarthritiscomparable to other conditions with significant lifestyle-related components often presenting concurrently withosteoarthritis, this inflammation has not been a focus of

best practice guidelines, particularly of its nonpharmacologicmanagement.

To establish the prescription of optimal nutrition andphysical activity as “first-line” interventions for low-gradeinflammation associated with chronic osteoarthritis, we havesynthesized three primary lines of support: (1) the literaturethat supports that the western diet and inactive lifestyle areproinflammatory, and a plant-based diet and regular physicalactivity are anti-inflammatory; (2) the literature supportingthat low-grade inflammation is common across lifestyle-related conditions including osteoarthritis; and (3) evidence-informed recommendations for effecting lifestyle behaviorchange that can be readily integrated by health practitioners

into “first-line” management. We conclude with implicationsfor clinical practice and research with respect to its paradigmand avenues for future investigation.

2. Low-Grade Inflammation and Lifestyle

Human lifestyles have changed dramatically over millennia.With technological and economic advancements in westerncountries particularly over the past 60 years, lifestyle-relatedconditions are the leading causes of premature death [13].With globalization, western diets coupled with inactivityhave contributed largely to lifestyle-related conditions whichare increasingly prevalent in middle- and low-income coun-tries [14]. Some authorities have not only argued that west-ern diets have contributed to poor chronic health outcomes,but that national food guidelines such as those in the UnitedStates have legitimized poor nutrition for several decadesfurther contributing to the pandemic of lifestyle-relatedconditions [15]. In particular, poor nutritional quality hasbeen reported to contribute to obesity [16], a primary riskfactor for osteoarthritis [17], in addition to calorie density.

The factors associated with the typical western lifestylethat impact people’s health have been elucidated by cross-cultural studies including seminal work related to Mediter-ranean diet and exercise patterns and Asian lifestyles. TheMediterranean diet known to be health protective is largelyplant based, favors olive oil over animal fats, and is highin fiber, vegetables, and fruits [18]. The China study [19–22] is a prime example. This comprehensive series ofstudies has shown the serious health consequences of highconsumption of meat, dairy, fat, and refined grains andsugar (proinflammatory), and low consumption of wholegrains, vegetables and fruits, and legumes and pulses (anti-inflammatory). This unnatural diet for humans contributesto low-grade systemic inflammation and oxidative tissuestress and irritation, placing the immune system in anoveractive state, a common denominator of conditions withlifestyle components including arthritis [15]. Both high car-bohydrate and high fat consumption contribute to inflam-matory and oxidative stress even in healthy people [23].This effect could accentuate inflammatory conditions suchas lowering the threshold for local inflammation in arthritis.Diet-induced weight loss in people who are overweightreduces chronic low-grade inflammation as evidenced bysignification reduced C-reactive protein, an inflammationbiomarker [24].

In addition, sedentary living and inactivity are hallmarksof western culture. Evidence supports that inactivity is proin-flammatory and augments oxidative stress [25], whereasactivity when not excessive is anti-inflammatory [26, 27].More commonly understood about exercise, however, is thatinactivity weakens muscles and contributes to joint stress,in addition to reducing stimulation of synovial fluid whichcushions the joints and protects the joint spaces [28]. Activityand exercise continue to be primarily recommended andprescribed to people with arthritis to offset these adverseeffects. The anti-inflammatory effects of exercise, however,have been well established, and that for maximal anti-inflammatory benefit, broad-based training needs to include

resistance and aerobic training [26, 27, 29]. Exercise inducedanalgesia [30] and stiffness associated with osteoarthritismay reflect both its anti-inflammatory and mechanicaleffects; however, exercise’s anti-inflammatory effects are notdiscussed in established practice guidelines [1–5]. In sum, thewestern lifestyle is inherently unhealthy, and lifestyles withnonwestern diets and greater activity levels are typically asso-ciated with better health outcomes, for example, traditionalAsian and Mediterranean lifestyles [18, 31].

Other lifestyle traits common in western culture arealso known to be proinflammatory. Smoking, for example,remains prevalent despite some success in recent decadesin reducing its prevalence through public health campaigns.The chronic low-grade inflammation associated with smok-ing [32, 33] has been linked with inflammatory states associ-ated with ischemic heart disease [34], rheumatoid arthritis[35], and osteoarthritis [36]. Low-grade inflammation hasbeen associated with chronic sleep deprivation and stress[37–40] which are also common in western cultures. Giventhe well-documented link between low-grade inflammationand oxidative stress, and sleep deprivation and stress [41], acase can be made for assessing and addressing these in theinitial assessment and in first-line management of chronicosteoarthritis. In addition, sleep deprivation and stress arecommon arthritic complaints secondary to discomfort andpain, lending further support for assessing sleep and stressin people with chronic osteoarthritis and intervening asindicated.

Thus, prescribing healthy living strategies in general aswell as optimal nutrition (of which weight loss is an addi-tional benefit) and regular physical activity are warranted asbeing first-line interventions in clinical practice guidelinesfor conditions such as osteoarthritis associated with chroniclow-grade inflammation. These conditions are described inthe next section and often coexist as comorbidities in peoplewith osteoarthritis.

3. Low-Grade Inflammation andLifestyle-Related ConditionsIncluding Osteoarthritis

Figure 1 illustrates the interactive relationship amongosteoarthritis, obesity, and physical inactivity. Obesity is anindependent risk factor for osteoarthritis [84]. Althoughthe mechanisms for this association are not completelyunderstood, biomechanical loading and metabolic inflam-mation associated with excess adipose tissue and lipidsmay have a role. Pain associated with osteoarthritis leadsto increasingly less activity and psychosocial and physicaldisability. Physical inactivity is an independent risk factorfor inflammation due to the reduced expression of sys-temic and cellular anti-inflammatory mediators. Physiologiccyclic loading of cartilage tissue reduces the expression ofproinflammatory mediators and decreases cytokine-inducedextracellular matrix degradation. Physical inactivity reducesdaily energy expenditure thereby promoting weight gain andcontinuation of the cycle. Emerging evidence indicates thatosteoarthritis likely impedes the management of chronic

metabolic conditions associated with prolonged negativelifestyle habits such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, andischemic heart disease, because of its negative impact onphysical activity.

Table 1 shows evidence for chronic low-grade inflam-mation and oxidative stress in people with osteoarthritis.Multiple comorbidities that share comparable underlyingchronic low-grade inflammation and oxidative stress oftencoexist in individuals with chronic osteoarthritis, Examplesof these conditions and synthesis of the evidence appearin Table 2, for example, atherosclerosis, chronic cancer,chronic obstructive lung disease, diabetes, hypertension,insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, ischemic heartdisease, obesity, and stroke. Almost 20 percent of Americanadults report having physician-diagnosed arthritis, and thisis expected to increase over the next two decades [88].Based on the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Systemand National Health Interview Survey in the United States,individuals with osteoarthritis have a high incidence of otherlifestyle-related conditions with inflammatory componentsthat often present comorbidly with osteoarthritis (see exam-ples in Table 2). Our search strategy used keywords includinglifestyle-related conditions, chronic low-grade or chronicsystemic inflammation. This synthesis of evidence reflectsthe literature indexed in established electronic data bases(MEDLINE and PubMed) and primarily published over thepast five years. However, in several instances, importantrelated work that was published earlier has been includedin this evidence synthesis. The literature extracted representsa breadth of scholarly paradigms including clinical trials,cross-sectional population-based studies, experimental trialsbased on basic science and models and histological evidence,expert narrative reviews, randomized controlled clinicaltrials, and systematic reviews.

Although the degree to which the typical western lifestyleexplains the prevalence of osteoarthritis is unclear, maxi-mizing healthy living may have the greatest potential forminimizing its risk, its impact, and long-term outcomes

including life-long health and wellbeing compared withinvasive interventions including drugs and surgery and theirrelated sequelae and side effects.

Overweight is now considered a leading condition asso-ciated with marked inflammation followed by arthritis, heartdisease, and type 2 diabetes mellitus [89]. The mechanismwhereby overweight contributes to inflammation is reportedto involve high fat content of the diet [90]. Thus, promotinghealthy weight through healthy nutrition in addition toregular physical activity and exercise is critically important topromote a maximally anti-inflammatory systemic environ-ment to offset low-grade inflammation as well as to achieveweight loss.

4. Integration of Lifestyle BehaviorChange into “First-Line” Management

For lifestyle behavior change to constitute “first-line” man-agement as the literature would support, the health careteam overall needs to share this goal and practice inpartnership rather than in the conventional siloed care.The three primary health professions excluding, dentistryand pharmacy, include physicians, nurses, and physicaltherapists. Traditionally, physicians are highly trained inadministration of invasive interventions, that is, drugs andsurgery. Nurses have assumed a role in patient education overthe years along with psychosocial considerations of patientcare. Of the established health professions, physical therapy isthe leading nonpharmacologic profession that is particularlywell positioned to assume such an education role for patientsrelated to healthy lifestyles and exercise [91, 92].

Consistent with the 21st century epidemiological trends,physical therapists are moving toward a model of carebased on health (International Classification of Functioning,Disability and Health) [91, 93], which includes initiatingand supporting behavior change such as optimal nutrition,weight reduction, reduced sedentary activity, and increased

Proinflammatory foods Anti-inflammatory foods

AlcoholRegular high consumption irritates esophagus, larynx, andliver which can lead to chronic inflammation whichpromotes tumor growth at sites of chronic irritationCooking oilsA diet of high imbalance of omega-6 to omega-3 ratiopromotes inflammation (e.g., heart disease and cancer)Dairy productsMeat (commercially produced meats where animals are fedgrains such as soy beans and corns (a diet high ininflammatory omega-6 fatty acids and low inanti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids; also, these animalshave limited exercise and raised to gain excess fat, ending upwith high saturated fats. To make the animals grow faster andprevent them from getting sick, they are injected withhormones and fed antibiotics.)Red meats (beef, lambs and pork) and processed meats (has,sausages, and salami)Red meat contains a molecule humans do not naturallyproduce (Neu5Gc) that leads to the production of antibodiesin defense of it, an immune response that may triggerchronic inflammation, and low grade inflammation (linkedto heart disease and cancer)Refined grains devoid of fiber and vitamin B compared withunrefined grains (have bran, germs and aleurone layer),refined grains like refined sugar with high glycemic indexWhen consistently consumed hasten onset heart disease andcancerAlso often laden with fat and sugar and artificial flavors andpartially hydrogenated oilArtificial food additivesAspartame and monosodium glutamate reportedly triggerinflammatory responses (particularly in those withinflammatory conditions, for example, rheumatoid arthritisSugarsTrans fats (found in deep fried foods, commercially bakedgoods, and those prepared with partially dehydrongenatedoil, margarine, and vegetable shortening

The “anti-inflammatory” nutritional plan includes thefollowing.Avoidance of sweets and sugarAvoidance of high refined foods such as processedfoods (white bread and rice, and pasta)Minimal fats (virgin olive oil okay as it has excellentanti-inflammatory properties)High fiber foods including dark breads such as rye andpumpernickelNo alcoholRecommended anti-inflammatory foods:Oatmeal (not instant)Asparagus, avocado, beets, Brussel sprouts,broccoli, cauliflower, kale, parsnip, spinachRomaine lettuceBerriesStrawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberriesGreen apples, oranges, pears, lemons, cantaloupeMelonOlivesUnsalted raw nutsSunflower seedsExtra virgin olive oilWaterGreen teaBeans, chickpeas, black beansLentilsLow-fat turkey/chickenEggsSalmonLow-sodium tuna packed in waterDairyLow-fat milk products are acceptable particularly plainyogurt, cottage, and solid cheeses, if any, like Swiss orcheddar, feta

physical activity. With respect to nutrition, basic assess-ment can be done and education undertaken regardingpatients’ knowledge with the inflammatory characteristics oftheir diets and incorporating anti-inflammatory foods (seeTable 3).

In addition, in the interest of best practice, as pri-mary nonpharmacologic practitioners, contemporary phys-ical therapists are integrating into practice health educa-tion including initiating and supporting smoking cessation,improved sleep hygiene, and stress management [94]. Giventhat smoking, poor sleep, and stress are all associated withlow-grade inflammation and hyperimmune response, teammembers such as nutritionists and health counselors couldbe used to greater advantage on the health care team topromote effective health education related to health behaviorchange. In acute conditions, such education needs to beintroduced potentially with pharmacologic intervention toreduce inflammation and pain expediently. However, as

the acute episode subsides and the condition stabilizes,medication needs to be reduced as much as possible, andperhaps completely, as health living practices take maximaleffect.

The benefits of healthy living have no better beenexemplified than in an elegant but simple study reported byFord and colleagues [95]. In their study of over 23,000 peoplebetween 35 and 65 years old, they reported that over an eight-year period, people who did not smoke; had a body massindex of less than 30 kg·m2; were physically active for at least3.5 hours weekly; and ate healthily reduced their risk of type2 diabetes mellitus by 93%, myocardial infarction by 81%,stroke by 50%, and cancer by 36%. Even if not all four healthbehaviors were present, risk of developing a chronic lifestyle-related condition decreased commensurate with an increasein the number of positive lifestyle factors. Furthermore,health-related quality of life increased with the number ofhealthy lifestyle behaviors that participants reported. In the

process of conducting the present review of the literature,we identified no medication that was associated with suchoutcomes and such low risk of side effects, if any.

In the interest of best practice, healthy living recom-mendations need to be prescribed as uniquely for theirdirect effects on the pathoetiology of osteoarthritis, andprescribed as aggressively as first-line medications. Althoughgeneral health recommendations are important for healthpromotion and disease prevention generally, the tenets ofhealthy living need to be systematically targeted to thepatient’s signs and symptoms and prescribed accordinglyincluding long-term followup and support. Not doing sodeprives the patient of evidence-informed best practiceosteoarthritis management and care.

Consistent with healthy living as a first-line approach,patients’ health behaviors need to be assessed in a measur-able, reproducible, and standardized manner. In additionto questionnaires and self-reports, despite their limitations,inflammatory biomarkers such as C-reactive protein may beuseful to objectively measure the effects of lifestyle behaviorchange rather than simply as an index of cardiovascular anddiabetes risk [96–99].

To address the reports of health care practitioners aboutlack of knowledge and confidence to effect health behaviorchange, they have a range of evidence-based interventionsat their disposal that are not time or resource intense [100–102]. In addition, the 5’s approach of behavior change, forexample, has some evidence base and has been endorsed bythe World Health Organization [103]. Its simplicity makesit attractive to health professionals, that is, assess: evaluatebehavior change status (and progress), advise: personallyrelevant behavioral recommendations, agree: set specific col-laborative, feasible goals, assist: anticipate barriers, problem-solve solutions, and complete action plan, and arrange:schedule followup, contacts, and resources.

In the interest of best practice, lifestyle behaviors needto be systematically assessed in every patient and moni-tored across the health professions the patient is seeing.Healthy living recommendations need to be prescribed asuniquely for their direct effects on the pathoetiology ofosteoarthritis as medications are, and as aggressively if first-line management is to truly reflect evidence-based practice.Although general recommendations are important for healthpromotion and disease prevention generally, healthy livingrecommendations must be systematically targeted to thepatient’s signs and symptoms. In addition to integratingdietary and activity recommendations, smoking cessation,sleep hygiene, and stress reduction should be included inthe interest of comprehensive effective care. Not doing sodeprives the patient of best practice osteoarthritis manage-ment in relation to potential comorbidities that commonlypresent in this cohort.

5. Implications: Clinical and Research

The evidence supporting lifestyle behaviour change toaddress low-grade inflammation in people with oste-oarthritis often with coexistent lifestyle-related risk factors

and low-grade inflammatory conditions (specifically, anti-inflammatory nutritional regimens, and moderate physicalactivity) is unequivocal. The evidence is sufficiently com-pelling for related healthy living assessment and recommen-dations be a component of first-line best practice in themanagement of the signs and symptoms of people withosteoarthritis. Assessments need to include lifestyle profilesrelated to body mass index, waist girth, and waist-to-hipratio; physical activity and exercise, as well as smoking, sleeppatterns, and stress (as these three latter factors have alsobeen reported to be proinflammatory). When quantifiedin standardized ways, these profiles can serve as clinicaloutcomes to assess health behavior change interventions. Thehealth behaviour change literature has exploded over the pasttwo decades, yet health professions report lack of confidencein effecting health behavior change in their patients, andlack of resources including time [100]. Although muchneeds to be done, evidence-based interventions can bereadily integrated into the framework of clinical practice andpatient visits [101, 104], for example, brief advice, referralto others professionals, and followup). Physical therapistsare particularly well positioned for initiating and supportinghealth behavior change in that patient visits tend to beprolonged and protracted over time, elements that are criticalto effective long-term sustained health behavior change.

Studies are needed to examine the differentiating char-acteristics of those people with osteoarthritis who respondprimarily to optimal nutrition and moderate physical activ-ity, and those who do not. In addition, the elements of ananti-inflammatory nutrition regimen and moderate physicalactivity program need to be refined in terms of theirprescriptive parameters, specifically, which elements shouldbe a primary focus for which patients. Another line of studiesis needed to examine the effect of such healthy lifestylechoices that increase inflammation threshold, on the needfor medication and, if medication is indicated, how mightits potency and dosage be reduced. The interactions amonghealthy lifestyle behaviors and pharmacokinetics need to beelucidated. Given that chronic systemic low-grade inflam-mation has been reported to be a common denominator oflifestyle-related conditions, studies are needed to establishthe degree to which their risk factors and manifestations arereduced in people with chronic osteoarthritis whose first-line management includes prescribing optimal nutrition andphysical activity for their anti-inflammatory effects. Further-more, the impact of low-grade inflammation can be more farreaching than physical complaints alone, in that even healthyolder adults report poorer health commensurate with levelof inflammatory markers [105]. Lastly, all indicators supportthat the approach to chronic progressive conditions suchas osteoarthritis needs to be holistic and interprofessional[106]. Research is needed to capture the breadth of thisevidence-informed practice approach.

6. Conclusion

Based on the extant literature, exploitation of anti-in-flammatory lifestyle behavior change as “first-line” interven-tion in the management of chronic osteoarthritis could well

constitute best practice. Chronic low-grade inflammationthat has been reported in chronic osteoarthritis is compa-rable to other lifestyle-related conditions supporting a com-mon mechanism of action. Addressing chronic low-gradeinflammation by focussing on lifestyle factors that contributedirectly to it holds the promise of increasing a patient’sinflammatory threshold, reducing rate of disease progres-sion, reducing weight, and maximizing health by minimizinga patient’s risk or manifestations of other lifestyle-relatedconditions. Even in part, such outcomes could minimizedemands on physicians for short-term symptom reduction,and management of the patient’s comorbidity related tolifestyle-related conditions. “First-line” lifestyle interven-tions to address chronic low-grade inflammation provides aninformed cost-effective basis for the 21st century prevention,potential reversal, and management of chronic osteoarthritis.Exploitation of such “first-line” intervention, however, needsto be a goal shared and supported by all healthcare teammembers.
