Several investigations of risk factors for knee OA

have been reported previously (414). Most have been


cross-sectional studies of prevalent disease, using radiographic
criteria to define cases with OA. They have
shown that important risk factors include obesity, previous
knee injury, selected physical activities, the presence
of hand OA (Heberdens nodes), and a family history of
the disease. As a consequence, much of the emphasis in
the development of possible preventive strategies has
been on protecting the knee joint from mechanical
injury and stress. However, few studies (1315) have
attempted to differentiate incidence from progression,
and it could be that preventing progression to severe
joint damage offers a more effective public health
strategy than attempting to prevent the initiation of
disease.

We chose to look at habitual physical activity


and its effect on knee OA within a large
random sample of people living in England.
The results support the hypothesis that exercise,
at the levels undertaken in the general
population, does not markedly increase the risk
of knee OA later in life. This finding is in
agreement with previous studies on professional
athletes, where associations with knee
OA were observed,5 7 because, generally, the

impact loads sustained among this highly select


group will be much higher than in the general
population. However, a prior knee injury does
seem to increase the risk of developing knee
OA considerably. This result is in agreement
with previous data only on knee injury.

Hasil mendukung hipotesis bahwa berolahraga,
