Habit of running did not increase one's risk of knee osteoarthritis. Instead of this exercise can protect against joint disease that is often experienced by middle-aged and the elderly.
This is at least revealed in a recent study presented at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Meeting in Boston.
Osteoarthritis (OA), is a joint disease that is characterized by progressive damage to the cartilage in the joints bearing --bahan bone ends - and led to changes in the structures around the joint.
These changes can include fluid accumulates, excessive bone growth, muscle and tendons loosened and fell, and other things that can restrict movement and cause pain and swelling emergence.
Osteoarthritis of the knee is a common form of OA, which is caused by the disruption of cartilage in the knee joint. Factors that may increase the risk of osteoarthritis of the knee, including, overweight, age, injury or stress on the joints and the presence of a family history of suffering from OA.
Involving 2,683 participants.
To determine whether a habit of running will increase the risk of knee OA, the researchers used data from a multicenter observational study (OAI) involving 2,683 people participated.
Of these participants, 56 percent were women, average age 64 years and has a body mass index of 28.6. Then, 29 percent of them reported often do run.
When the duration of the study, the participants underwent X-rays with an X-ray on their knees, were asked to complete questionnaires related to physical activity most often they do and are given symptom assessment.
After collecting all the data, the researchers reported that they were doing a track regardless of age when they ran, had a prevalence of knee pain and its symptoms are lower than those who did not flee.
They only 22.8 percent risk of suffering from symptomatic OA than those who did not run, ie 29.8 percent.
Research shows people who have a low body mass index is most likely to make a run as a habit. Running, even at the level of the non-elite, not only did not increase the risk of developing knee OA, but can protect the body from disease.
"This study does not answer whether ran dangerous for people with OA of the knee. However, in people who do not have knee OA, there is no reason to limit yourself to do a run at every opportunity, ... running is not harmful to the knee," said Dr. . Lo as reported by the public broadcast of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR).
