Obesity significantly affects joint health due to the excess weight placing increased stress on joints, particularly those bearing weight such as knees and hips. This added strain can lead to osteoarthritis and chronic pain. Furthermore, carrying excess body fat can result in inflammation, negatively affecting joint function. Individuals who are obese may experience reduced mobility and exercise limitations, exacerbating health issues and leading to a cycle of physical inactivity. Addressing obesity through a combination of nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes can alleviate joint stress and promote long-term joint health and function.
