By ABC7
July 14, 2009 New research coming out in the journal Radiology finds obesity actually increases the risk of rapid cartilage loss. And that can lead to osteoarthritis, the most common type of arthritis.

Doctors involved in the study noted that weight was the biggest factor in cartilage loss and that taking off pounds is probably the best way to combat the condition.
