Evaluation of weight loss counsel for Osteoarthritis patients: A cross-sectional analysis of NHANES 2011–2018
Authors' conclusion
Prevalence of weight counsel receipt for OA has not changed significantly between 2011 and 2018. Though counsel for weight more frequently leads to adequate weight loss in those with OA, the average weight loss is minimal regardless of counsel.
