Elevated Body Mass Index Is Associated With Rotator Cuff Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To analyze the literature regarding obesity, body mass index (BMI), and rotator cuff disease (RCD).

Methods

In this Systematic Review and Meta-analysis, we queried PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health, and Science Direct using key words (August 25, 2023). Analytic observational studies (cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies) with more than 30 participants per comparison group, evaluating the association between obesity and rotator cuff pathology, were eligible for inclusion. Meta-analysis was performed to quantitatively summarize associations between BMI and RCD to report odds ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for regression-based models and BMI mean differences between cases and controls.
