Running Won't Raise Risk of Knee Arthritis, Study Says

Robert Preidt writing in Healthday reported regular running doesn't seem to increase your chances of developing knee osteoarthritis, and it may even help prevent the disease, researchers report.
The researchers analyzed data from more than 2,600 people who provided information about the three most common types of physical activity they did at different times in their lives. The average age of the study volunteers was 64. The time periods asked about were 12-18, 19-34, 35-49, and 50 and older. Among the participants, 29 percent said they were runners at some point in their lives.
Runners, no matter what the age when they were active runners, had knee pain less often than people who didn't run, according to the study. They also had fewer symptoms and evidence of knee arthritis than non-runners did, the researchers found.
The findings indicate that regular running does not increase the risk of knee arthritis, and may even protect against it, concluded the authors of the study.
