Brisson, from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and colleagues collected data from 59 individuals (48 women; mean age, 61.1 years; mean body mass index, 28.1 kg\/m\u00b2) with clinical KOA for up to three years. Physical activity was measured by accelerometer and was characterized as the average steps per day taken over at least three days.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers found that age, body mass index, and season were predictors of physical activity. In contrast, neither the inverted Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)-pain nor the P4 pain scale was associated with physical activity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While pain management remains an important target of interventions, strategies to increase steps per day in this population should focus on overcoming potentially more crucial barriers to activity participation,&#8221; the authors write.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/acr.23842 \" target=\"_new\">Abstract\/Full Text (subscription or payment may be required)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Copyright \u00a9 2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthday.com\/\" target=\"_new\">HealthDay<\/a>.
