Body mass index and knee osteoarthritis risk: A dose‐response meta‐analysis

Evidence shows obesity is an important risk factor for knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, the dose‐response relationship between body mass index (BMI) and knee OA risk is unclear. The purpose of the current study is to establish a nonlinear dose‐response relationship between BMI and risk of knee OA.
