Weight CAN have a lot to do with it, but you don't have to be overweight to develop knee problems. There was a NY Times article not so far back on "Why the knee has become the new back"--(they mean in terms of injuries, chronic pain, etc.) I will see if I can find it. BTW, two things that can help reduce or even eliminate minor joint pains are MSM and glucosamine/chondroitin. Don't take the latter if you are allergic to shellfish, though! Judy
