As of 2024, an estimated 78 percent of individuals in Scotland who were living with a long-term musculoskeletal condition were classed as obese, while the comparative figures in England and Wales were 69 and 72 percent respectively. Obesity increases a person's chance of developing a musculoskeletal condition, as it increases the weight that joints such as knees and hips have to bear.
