(Reuters Health) - Elite male athletes who participate in high-contact
sports like football, soccer and rugby have a higher risk of developing
knee and hip arthritis later in life than men who exercise a little or not
at all, a recent study found.
.
About 30 percent of athletes had hip or knee arthritis, compared to 19
percent who weren't athletes.
.
"Regular exercise is important to health and well being," said Dr. Joseph
Buckwalter, who studies osteoarthritis and sports medicine at the
University of Iowa, "but certain kinds of exercise expose you to greater
risk of injury."
.
"Elite athletes engage in challenging, physically demanding sports, so
they're at higher risk of joint injuries and repetitive joint injuries,"
said Buckwalter, who was not involved in the study.

Abstract
Background: Intense exercise has been reported as one risk factor for hip
and knee osteoarthritis (OA).
.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate (1) whether this is true for both
former impact and nonimpact athletes, (2) if the risk of a hip or knee
arthroplasty due to OA is higher than expected, and (3) if joint
deterioration is associated with knee injuries.
.

.
Conclusion: Hip and knee OA and hip and knee arthroplasty are more
commonly found in former male elite athletes than expected. A previous
knee injury is associated with knee OA in former impact athletes but not
in nonimpact athletes.
