Is More Better? Weight Loss Analysis in Older Patients with Knee OA

November 5, 2018 • By Arthritis Care & Research

Obesity is a modifiable risk factor for many patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), and the National Institutes of Health recommend an initial weight loss goal of 10%. But how does losing more weight affect knee OA patients? In a new study, researchers compared the outcomes of knee OA patients who lost more and less than the recommended 10% of their baseline weight, finding significant improvement in health-related quality of life and reduction in pain for patients who lost twice what’s recommended…...

Weight Change in Early RA & the Risk of Mortality

December 20, 2017 • By Arthritis & Rheumatology

Sparks et al set out to investigate whether weight change during the early RA period is associated with subsequent mortality and to evaluate whether there is an RA-specific effect. They investigated weight change during the early RA period, because this is the window of time during which weight change is most likely to be related to RA-specific processes. They found that severe weight loss during the early RA period was associated with a subsequent increased mortality risk both for women with and without RA…... [Read More]

Weight Loss Surgery May Reduce Risk of Developing Gout
