It is commonly discussed in joint health because body weight influences how much load the knee carries during daily activity. In orthopedic and sports medicine settings, BMI reduction is often part of a broader risk-reduction and function-improvement plan. It may be considered before or alongside physical therapy, injections, or surgery."}
