Material & Methods– 50 obese and 50 nonobese female aged between 30 yrs to 50yrs and above were selected . Measurements were taken by slim guide skinfold caliper. Calculation of percentage of body fat and Grading of obesity was done by the standard tables given in caliper booklet. Total 100 radiograms of knee joints in anterioposterior view in standing position were obtained . The radiographs were carefully analysed. Correlation between percentage of body fat and changes in radiological morphology of knee joint was done. Statistics (t test ) was applied. Results– 84% obese female in all age groups showed more radiological changes in knee joints as compared to 20% nonobese female control that difference was highly significant statistically ( P <0.01).
