Resumo: | Women are at higher risk to knee osteoarthritis (OA) and obesity. Together, these diseases may ensue pain and functional limitations, mainly during locomotion. The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of the degree of obesity in symptoms and functional capacity of women with knee osteoarthritis. The sample studied was made up by 13 obese women (body mass index - BMI>;30 kg/m²) and 15 morbid obese women (BMI>;40 kg/m²), all with bilateral knee OA. The symptoms of pain, stiffness and functional difficulty were measured by the questionnaire The Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (Womac). Functional capacity was evaluated by four speed tests: usual gait, fast gait, climbing and descending stairs. Both groups presented a moderate impact of obesity on knee osteoarthritis, with no differences between them concerning symptoms. Obese women had better results in the usual gait and climbing stairs tests than morbid obese ones, but not in fast gait and descending stairs, which are more complex and stressful tasks for the knee joint. It may be said that the degree of obesity had no impact on knee OA symptoms of pain, stiffness and functional difficulty; and, in two functional capacity tests, both obese women and women with morbid obesity showed similar performances, thus suggesting that other factors may influence functional capacity of obese women with knee osteoarthritis. |

As mulheres apresentam risco aumentado para a osteoartrite (OA) de joelhos e obesidade. Associadas, essas doenças podem gerar dor e prejuízos funcionais, principalmente em atividades de locomoção. Este estudo visou comparar o impacto do grau de obesidade nos sintomas e capacidade funcional de mulheres com OA de joelhos. Foram selecionadas 13 mulheres obesas (com índice de massa corporal - IMC>;30 kg/m²) e 15 com obesidade mórbida (IMC>;40 kg/m²), todas com OA bilateral de joelhos. Os sintomas de dor, rigidez e dificuldades funcionais foram avaliados pelo questionário The Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (Womac). A capacidade funcional foi verificada por quatro testes de velocidade: marcha usual, marcha rápida, subir e descer escadas. Os dois grupos apresentaram um impacto moderado da obesidade na OA de joelhos, sem diferença quanto aos sintomas. As obesas se saíram melhor do que as obesas mórbidas nos testes de marcha usual e subir escadas, mas não nas atividades de marcha rápida e descer escadas, mais complexas e estressantes para a articulação do joelho. Conclui-se que o grau de obesidade não teve impacto nos sintomas de dor, rigidez e dificuldades funcionais associadas à OA de joelhos entre mulheres obesas e obesas mórbidas. E, em dois testes de capacidade funcional, as obesas dos dois grupos tiveram desempenho semelhante, sugerindo que outros fatores podem influenciar o desempenho funcional de obesas com OA de joelhos.
