Abstract
Background. Obesity is one of the metabolic syndrome, Characterized by the excessive of Body Mass Index (BMI).
Obesity can be the beginning of a variety of diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and impotence .
The recent studiesdetermining the relationship between obesity and osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, were found
weight gain is often associated significantly as an aggravating factor in OA patients.
Discussion. In the knee joint, the adverse effects of excessive weight gain canaccelerate the breakdown of joint
cartilage structurefour to five times faster. Osteoarthritis is a musculoskeletal disease that ranks in first position as
the cause of pain and disability (inability) in elderly patients that usually attacks the supporting joints, especially the
knee joint.
Conclusion. This review conclude that patient with obesity have greater risk suffering from knee osteoarthritis
disease. The bilateral and unilateral knee OA disease risk increased with age, this due to decreasing of collagen
strain and proteoglycans in articular cartilage.
Keywords : BMI, elderly,obesity,osteoarthritis.
Abstrak
Latar Belakang. Obesitas merupakan salah satu metabolic syndrome, yang ditandai dengan Ideks Masa Tubuh (IMT)
berlebih. Obesitas dapat menjadi awal dari berbagai penyakit seperti hipertensi, jantung koroner dan impotensi.
Berbagai studi menentukan hubungan antara obesitas dan osteoarthritis (OA) lutut, berat badan sering dikaitkan
sebagai faktor yang memperparah pasien OA.
Pembahasan. Pada sendi lutut, dampak buruk dari berat badan berlebih dapat mencapai empat hingga lima kali
lebih besar sehingga mempercepat kerusakan struktur tulang rawan sendi. Osteoartritis merupakan penyakit sendi
yang menduduki rangking pertama penyebab nyeri dan disabilitas (ketidakmampuan) pada lansia yang umumnya
menyerang sendi–sendi penopang berat badan terutama sendi lutut.
Simpulan.Ulasan ini menyimpulkan bahwa obesitas mempunyai faktor risiko Osteoartritis lutut lebih besar, faktor
risiko OA lutut bilateral maupun unilateral semakin meningkat dengan bertambahnya umur. Hal ini disebabkan
karena adanya hubungan antara umur dengan penurunan kekuatan kolagen dan proteoglikan pada kartilago sendi.
Kata kunci: IMT,lansia,obesitas, osteoartritis.
