Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
It is a well-known fact that obesity leads to an excess load on the joint, increased cartilage turnover, increased collagen type 2 degradation products and increased risk of degenerative meniscal lesions. Although all of these factors have been proposed to lead to knee osteoarthritis, no causal relationship has been demonstrated.
