Daily Walking and the Risk of Knee Replacement Over 5 Years Among Adults With Advanced Knee Osteoarthritis in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the association of the volume and intensity of daily walking at baseline with the risk of knee replacement (KR) over 5 years in adults with advanced structural knee osteoarthritis.

Design

Prospective, longitudinal, and multicenter observational study.

Setting

We included participants with advanced structural disease, without KR and had valid daily walking data (quantified using Actigraph GT1M), at baseline.
