Intentional Weight Loss in Overweight and Obese Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: Is More Better?

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine the dose response effect of weight loss on clinical and mechanistic outcomes in overweight and obese adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA).

Methods

This is a secondary analysis of the diet-induced weight loss only (D) and diet-induced weight loss plus exercise (D + E) groups in the Intensive Diet and Exercise for Arthritis randomized controlled clinical trial. The 240 participants were overweight and obese older community-dwelling adults with pain and radiographic knee OA. Participants were assigned to 1 of 4 groups according to weight loss achieved over an 18-month period: <5% (<5% group), 5-10% (?5% group), 10-20% (?10% group), and >20% (?20% group).

Results

There were significant dose responses to weight loss for pain (P = 0.01), function (P = 0.0006), 6-minute walk distance (P < 0.0001), physical (P = 0.0004) and mental (P = 0.03) health-related quality of life (HRQoL), knee joint compressive force (P < 0.0001), and interleukin-6 (P = 0.002). Greater weight loss resulted in superior clinical and mechanstic outcomes, with the highest weight loss group (?20% group) distinguishing itself on all measures compared with the <5% and ?5% groups; the ?20% group had 25% less pain and better function compared with the ?10% group and significantly (P = 0.006) better physical HRQoL.

Conclusion

Long-term weight loss of 10-19.9% of baseline body weight has substantial clinical and mechanistic benefits compared with less weight loss. The value of an additional 10% weight loss includes significantly improved physical HRQoL and a clinically important reduction of pain and improvement in function.

Project description:Patients are susceptible for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) with increasing age and obesity and KOA is expected to become a major disabling disease in the future. An important feature of KOA on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is changes in the subchondral bone, bone marrow lesions (BMLs), which are related to the future degeneration of the knee joint as well as prevalent clinical symptoms. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in BMLs after a 16-week weight-loss period in obese subjects with KOA and relate changes in BMLs to the effects of weight-loss on clinical symptoms.This prospective cohort study included patients with a body mass index ? 30 kg/m2, an age ? 50 years and primary KOA. Patients underwent a 16 weeks supervised diet program which included formula products and dietetic counselling (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00655941). BMLs in tibia and femur were assessed on MRI before and after the weight-loss using the Boston-Leeds Osteoarthritis Knee Score. Response to weight-loss in BML scores was dichotomised to patients experiencing a decrease in BML scores (responders) and patients who did not (non-responders). The association of BMLs to weight-loss was assessed by logistic regressions and correlation analyses.39 patients (23%) were classified as responders in the sum of all BML size scores whereas 130 patients (77%) deteriorated or remained stable and were categorized as non-responders. Logistic regression analyses revealed no association between weight-loss < or ? 10% and response in BMLs in the most affected compartment (OR 1.86 [CI 0.66 to 5.26, p=0.24]). There was no association between weight-loss and response in maximum BML score (OR 1.13 [CI 0.39 to 3.28, p=0.81]). The relationship between changes in BMLs and clinical symptoms revealed that an equal proportion of patients classified as BML responders and non-responders experienced an OMERACT-OARSI response (69 vs. 71%, p=0.86).Weight-loss did not improve the sum of tibiofemoral BML size scores or the maximum tibiofemoral BML score, suggesting that BMLs do not respond to a rapidly decreased body weight. The missing relationship between clinical symptoms and BMLs calls for further investigation.

Project description:Obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have emerged as major public health problems. We aimed to examine: (a) lifestyle and behavioral factors, (b) factors related to pursuing weight loss and (c) weight loss modalities pursued by CKD and non-CKD individuals who are overweight and obese.Cross-sectional analysis of 10,971 overweight and obese adult participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys conducted between 1999 and 2006. We examined the differences in lifestyle and behavioral factors between CKD and non-CKD participants and factors associated with pursuing weight loss using survey regression models.The total daily energy intake of the CKD population was lower than the non-CKD group (1987 kcal per day versus 2063 kcal per day, P=0.02) even after adjusting for relevant covariates. However, the percentage of energy derived from protein was similar between the groups. Sixty six percent of the CKD population did not meet the minimum recommended leisure time physical activity goals compared with 57% among non-CKD (P<0.001). Fifty percent of CKD participants pursued weight loss (vs fifty-five percent of non-CKD individuals, P=0.01), but the presence of CKD was not independently associated with the pursuit of weight loss in the multivariate model. Among participants pursuing weight loss, modalities including dietary interventions utilized by CKD and non-CKD participants were similar. Eight percent of CKD participants used medications to promote weight loss.Among the overweight and obese population, lifestyle and behavioral factors related to obesity and weight loss are similar between CKD and non-CKD participants. Insufficient data exist on the beneficial effects of intentional weight loss in CKD and these data show that a significant proportion of the CKD population use diets that may have high-protein content and medications to promote weight loss that may be harmful. Future clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and optimal modalities to treat obesity in the CKD population are warranted.
