Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Patients with osteoarthritis (OA) often have joint pain and are overweight or obese. Thus, the objective of this study was to observe whether there is correlation between body mass index and joint pain intensity with gait performance in individuals with OA.
METHODS: Cross-sectional study, which evaluated 60 volunteers, being 30 with clinical diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis and 30 without the disease, of both sexes and aged between 50-82 years. Joint pain intensity was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale, gait-related functional tasks using the Dynamic Gait Index, and the functional mobility using the Timed Up and Go test.
RESULTS: There was a correlation between overweight/obesity and high levels of joint pain intensity (p=0.018), with worse performance in gait-related functional tasks (p=0.000) and with worse functional mobility (p=0.034) only for the individuals with OA. High levels of joint pain intensity also correlated with worse performance in the gait-related functional tasks (p=0.000) in the OA group, and also with worse functional mobility in the OA group (p=0.001) and also in the group of individuals without the disease (p=0.032).
CONCLUSION: This study identified a correlation between overweight/obesity and high levels of joint pain intensity and worse gait performance in individuals with osteoarthritis. High levels of pain intensity also correlated with worse gait performance in individuals with OA.

Resumo
JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Indivíduos com osteoartrite (OA) frequentemente apresentam dor articular e sobrepeso ou obesidade. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi observar se existe correlação entre o índice de massa corporal e a intensidade da dor articular com o desempenho da marcha em indivíduos com OA.
MÉTODOS: Estudo de corte transversal, que avaliou 60 indivíduos, sendo 30 com diagnóstico clínico de osteoartrite de joelho e 30 sem a doença, de ambos os sexos e com faixa etária entre 50 e 82 anos. A intensidade da dor articular foi avaliada pela Escala Analógica Visual, as tarefas funcionais relacionadas à marcha pelo Dynamic Gait Index e a mobilidade funcional pelo teste Timed Up and Go.
RESULTADOS: Houve correlação entre o sobrepeso/obesidade e níveis elevados de intensidade da dor articular (p=0,018), com um pior desempenho nas tarefas funcionais relacionadas à marcha (p=0,000) e com menor mobilidade funcional (p=0,034) apenas para os indivíduos com OA. Os níveis elevados de intensidade de dor articular também mostraram correlação com um pior desempenho nas tarefas funcionais relacionadas à marcha (p=0,000) no grupo com OA, e ainda, com uma menor mobilidade funcional no grupo com OA (p=0,001) e também no grupo de indivíduos sem a doença (p=0,032).
CONCLUSÃO: Este estudo identificou correlação entre o sobrepeso/obesidade com níveis elevados de intensidade da dor articular e com um pior desempenho na marcha nos indivíduos com OA. Os elevados níveis de intensidade da dor também mostraram correlação com pior desempenho na marcha nos indivíduos com OA.
