Studies found that people with knee osteoarthritis experienced less pain and disability simply by losing weight:
- A 5 per cent weight loss was enough to ease problems
- A 10 percent weight loss resulted in ‘moderate to large’ improvements in physical ability
All good news for sufferers of this painful joint condition. Researchers suggest suffers of arthritis lose 10 percent of their weight in a period of two months to gain the most benefit. Since mobility is often a problem for such patients, the emphasis must be on food intake. Once the pain starts to ease, and mobility improves, exercise will help with further weight loss
