Dr. Sean Scully, a professor of orthopedics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Florida, agreed that the danger of developing osteoarthritis is another reason to control weight.
"Don't let yourself get heavy," Scully said. "This study shows a direct correlation -- people who are heavy are the ones that are getting worse," he said.
Keeping your weight down -- through diet and exercise or weight-loss surgery -- could prevent the need for knee-replacement surgery, he said.
