Using the Osteoarthritis Initiative dataset, we investigated the effects of weight cycling on physical function, quality of life, and depression over 72-months compared to stable or unidirectional body weight trajectories. Participants (n = 731) had knee OA and were classified as: (1) stable-low (BMI
