Description of intervention(s) / exposure
BEHAVIORAL - Diet and Exercise
No intervention: Attention Control - This comparison group provides attention, social interaction, and healthy lifestyle classes. There will be 4, 1-hour face-to-face group meetings per year featuring community health professionals, quarterly newsletters, and quarterly text messages.
Experimental: Diet and Exercise - The dietary component of the weight loss intervention is characterized by the frequency of contacts, methods to induce dietary restriction, and behavioral therapy strategies. The first 6 months of the diet program is an energy-restricted diet with the option of using partial meal replacements and nutritious snacks (Rapid Nutrition, PLC). The weight loss goal for the diet and exercise group is a minimum of 10% of baseline body weight by the end of year 1. The weight loss phase is followed by 3 years of a weight-loss maintenance program, with the goal of sustaining the achieved weight loss. The exercise component includes 60-minute sessions 2 days per week for 48 months.
BEHAVIORAL: Diet and Exercise
Group and individual weight loss and weight maintenance sessions combined with exercise throughout the 48 months.

Assessment method [1]
0
0
Compare the effects of a 48-month intervention of dietary weight loss, exercise, and weight-loss maintenance to an attention control group in preventing the development of structural (MRI) knee OA. Assessed using the MRI Osteoarthritis Knee Score (MOAKS). The MOAKS evaluates degenerative changes in the knee, including the location and severity of osteophyte formation, bone marrow lesions, and cartilage loss. The MOAKS classification system of osteophytes has grades ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (large).

Compare the effects of a 48-month intervention of dietary weight loss, exercise and weight-loss maintenance to an attention control group on the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS pain). Standardized answer options are given (5 Likert boxes) and each question is assigned a score from 0 to 4. A normalized score is calculated for the pain subscale. We will transform the score to a 0-100 scale, with 100 representing the most pain and 0 representing no pain.

Compare the effects of a 48-month intervention of dietary weight loss, exercise and weight-loss maintenance to an attention control group on health-related quality of life (SF-36). Questions from the SF-36 yield 2 broad summary scores: physical health and mental health. Scores for each domain range from 0 to 100, with a higher score defining a more favorable health state.

Summary
Brief summary
The goal of this study is to establish the efficacy of an intervention of dietary weight loss, exercise, and weight-loss maintenance for knee Osteoarthritis (OA) prevention in adult females aged = 50 years with obesity and no or infrequent knee pain. The primary aim is to compare the effects of a dietary weight loss, exercise, and weight-loss maintenance to an attention control group in preventing the development of structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) knee OA. Secondary aims will determine the intervention effects on pain, mobility, health-related quality of life, knee joint compressive forces, inflammatory measures, weight loss, exercise self-efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of this intervention.
