VIDEO: No Need to Stop Running for Fear of Knee Osteoarthritis

BOSTON– Current running or a history of running did not raise the odds of knee osteoarthritis in the first population-based study of runners.

Until this cross-sectional analysis of participants in the Osteoarthritis Initiative, most studies examining the risk of knee osteoarthritis from running analyzed elite runners and other high-level runners, making them less generalizable to a larger population, according to Dr. Grace Hsiao-Wei Lo of Baylor College of Medicine, Houston.

The findings of no higher odds of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis, compared with nonrunners, were largely consistent across age groupings of runners from 12-18 years of age up to 50 years and older, Dr. Lo said in a video interview at the annual meeting of the American College of Rheumatology.
