- Abstract
Objective: To assess the impact of different types of physical activity types on longitudinal knee joint structural changes over 48 months in overweight and obese subjects. Materials and methods: We included 415 subjects with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, Kellgren-Lawrence scores ≤ 3 at baseline and Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (WORMS) scores available from the Osteoarthritis Initiative cohort. Regular self-reported participation in six physical activity types was assessed: ball sports, bicycling, jogging/running, elliptical-trainer, racquet sports, and swimming. Moreover, they were classified into high- and low-impact physical activity groups. Evaluation of structural knee abnormalities was performed using WORMS obtained by two independent observers blinded to the subjects' physical activity and time point. Linear regression models were used to assess the associations between participation in different physical activity types and changes in WORMS. Results: No significant differences in epidemiological data were found between the groups except for gender composition, and there were no significant differences in baseline WORMS. In the cohort as a whole and most exercise groups overall WORMS significantly increased during the observational period. Highest increases compared to the remainder of the group were found in the high impact group (increase in WORMS 4.65; [95% CI] [3.94,5.35]; p = 0.040) and the racquet sports group (6.39; [95% CI] [5.13,7.60]; p ≤ 0.001). Subjects using an elliptical-trainer showed the lowest increase in WORMS (− 1.50 [− 0.21, 3.22]; p = 0.002). Conclusion: Progression of knee joint degeneration was consistently higher in subjects engaging in high-impact and racquet sports while subjects using an elliptical-trainer showed the smallest changes in structural degeneration. This work was presented during the 2020 Radiological Society of North America Annual meeting.
