Sarcopenic obesity prevalence and clinical implications in patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis and class II-III obesity
SO was present in 28 % (95%CI 15.5-40.4) of our sample with knee OA, with clinically unfavourable implications on measured and self-reported physical function and quality of life. Identification of SO may better stratify patients and enable personalized support to preserve muscle mass and function prior to weight loss or arthroplasty considerations.
