I thought BMI was generally replaced with BMI + WC? BMI is certainly a useful population tool and quick heuristic, but lacks depth. But I’ve been out of this topic for a while.
I’m very confident my knee pain comes from load carrying. If I add the average load carried to my bodyweight, I had a BMI of >40 for over a decade, definitely falls on line with your theory!
I would guess external load doesn’t have the same heart effect as body mass, but again, out of my depth.
They are statistically the largest reason for knee problems. I wouldn’t call that bias.
Fair enough. I guess I’m the one with the bias since it’s rare around my circles! Or maybe I should say other causes are overly common in my circles?
I knew excess weight and age were linked to osteoporosis, but not necessarily knee pain in general (like tendinopathy, or MCL/ACL strains).
I must be underestimating osteo cases. Or perhaps my population/region has fewer osteo cases than yours.
Not osteoporosis. Osterarthritis. Besides, being overweight (think bmi) regardless of if it is fat or muscle is bad for your knees and heart.
