          Overuse and traumatic injuries mostly. I’ve also sold my body to survive, so while age shouldn’t be a factor yet, I’m probably ahead of average on duty cycles.

          I do find it interesting your bias jumps (haha) to under-training and over-weightness first. Are they common problems in your circles?

              Fair enough. I guess I’m the one with the bias since it’s rare around my circles! Or maybe I should say other causes are overly common in my circles?

              I knew excess weight and age were linked to osteoporosis, but not necessarily knee pain in general (like tendinopathy, or MCL/ACL strains).

              I must be underestimating osteo cases. Or perhaps my population/region has fewer osteo cases than yours.

                  I thought BMI was generally replaced with BMI + WC? BMI is certainly a useful population tool and quick heuristic, but lacks depth. But I’ve been out of this topic for a while.

                  I’m very confident my knee pain comes from load carrying. If I add the average load carried to my bodyweight, I had a BMI of >40 for over a decade, definitely falls on line with your theory!

                  I would guess external load doesn’t have the same heart effect as body mass, but again, out of my depth.

    i can’t even jump up without hurting my knees, let alone jumping from a walkway down to another walkway.

    If you master the art of mind control… you don’t need to jump. You can get some poor soul to do that for you.
