Resumo(s)
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the leading causes of pain and disability among older adults, particularly women. Pain and mobility disability are
major consequences of knee OA which and can interfere with the functional autonomy of elderly and thus, making it difficult to perform activities of daily
living. Evidence suggests that obesity is strongly linked to knee OA and that nonpharmacological therapy should be based on physical activity and weight
loss in case of overweight and obesity. A positive relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and health outcomes has been widely
discussed in scientific literature, including its potential benefits in weight loss.
