Obesity Can Cause Arthritis and Osteoporosis

Being obese doesn’t just place your major internal organs at risk, nor does it double or even triple your risks on contracting serious illnesses like diabetes and cancers, but according to a recent study that was conducted by Boston University, obesity can play culprit to arthritis and osteoporosis, in a shockingly short period of time, reports dietpillsthatwork.co.uk.

As this recent obesity impact study circulates, customers are flocking to the number one diet pill in the world, Proactol - which offers a proven, side effect-free and natural approach to facilitating healthy weight-loss. Newer studies from Boston University on the impact of obesity as it affects osteoporosis and arthritis are rather startling.

The study included more than 300 different knees that were studied on more than 300 different patients, all who had a body mass index (BMI) of more than 29.5 (which is considered to be obesity). At the onset of the study the knees appeared to be mostly healthy. However, after following test subjects for a period of thirty months, about 20% of subjects displayed slowed cartilage losses, and nearly 6% demonstrated rapid cartilage losses.

Frank Roemer, a respected professor and the lead author on the study at Boston University - in a July news release from BU - warns about the negative effects that obesity can have on cartilages in the body. ”As obesity is one of the few established risk factors for osteoarthritis, it is not surprising that obesity may also precede and predict rapid cartilage loss. Weight loss is probably the most important factor to slow disease progression,” Roemer says.
