Banyak pasien osteoarthritis lutut merupakan individu dengan obesitas, sehingga penurunan berat badan seharusnya menjadi terapi lini pertama pada populasi ini.
Proses patologi dari osteoarthritis lutut melibatkan hilangnya kartilago artikular, sklerosis tulang subkondral, hingga perkembangan osteofit. Meski begitu, belum terdapat terapi farmakologis definitif yang dapat menghentikan perkembangan proses patologis dari osteoarthritis lutut.[1-3]
Penggunaan farmakoterapi seperti analgesik dan antiinflamasi non-steroid (NSAID) hanya berperan sebagai terapi simptomatik, dan tidak dapat diberikan sebagai terapi jangka panjang karena berbagai pertimbangan, seperti adanya efek samping negatif pada sistem gastrointestinal, ginjal, dan kardiovaskular. Oleh sebab itu, pendekatan terapi non-farmakologis berperan penting dalam penanganan osteoarthritis lutut, termasuk penurunan berat badan pada pasien dengan overweight dan obesitas.[2,3]
