PURPOSE: Obesity in middle age is associated with an increased risk of osteoarthritis of the knees in later life. We sought to determine whether body mass index in young men was a risk factor for the subsequent development of osteoarthritis of the knee and hip.SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Body mass index was assessed in 1,180 male medical students at age 23 +/- 2 (mean +/- SD) years and at several times during follow-up. The incidence of knee and hip osteoarthritis was ascertained by self-report and corroborated with information on symptoms and radiographic findings.RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 36 years, 62 participants developed knee osteoarthritis and 27 developed hip osteoarthritis. The incidence of knee, but not hip, osteoarthritis was strongly associated with body mass index assessed at ages 20 to 29 pears and 30 to 39 years (both P
