High BMI related burden of knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) is on a significant rise worldwide. OA not only causes joint pain and stiffness, but it also leads to disability. This study investigated the trend and burden of OA attributable to high body mass index (BMI) in Iran. The age-standardized disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates of knee and hip OA due to high BMI, were estimated using data from the Global Burden of Disease 2019. We evaluated DALYs rate trend of high BMI related OA by sex and age in span of 30 years from 1990-2019 across the 31 provinces of Iran. The age-standardized prevalence trend of OA in the knee and hip showed an increase from 1990 to 2019. In 2019 there were 29.92 (95% CI: 10.98-64.92) and 42.50 (95% CI: 16.32-97.37) DALYs/100,000 related to OA from high BMI in men and women, respectively. 2019 saw the greatest DALYs/100,000 rate in the 65-79 age group. From 2005 to 2019, men and women saw DALYs/100,000 rate changes of 24.87 and 17.43 percent, respectively. The burden of knee OA was significantly higher than that of hip OA. DALYs rate of OA due to high BMI was found to be positively associated with the Socio-demographic Index (SDI). The burden of knee and hip OA due to high BMI has increased significantly in recent years in Iran among all age groups of both men and women. It is recommended that health policymakers develop weight control strategies to reduce the burden of OA and implement them at the national level.
