Excess weight increases the risk of developing the following three types of arthritis:

 Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions and protects the ends of bones in your joints wears down over time. The added body weight puts more pressure and stress on weight-bearing joints such as knees and hips.

 Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder, is caused when the body fat releases inflammatory compounds.

 Gout is a kind of arthritis characterized by an excess amount of uric acid in the blood. Symptoms often include intense episodes of painful swelling and tenderness in joints, most often in the big toe. If you’re overweight, your body produces more uric acid and your kidneys have a tougher time eliminating it.
