Abstrakt: •Thirty-eight percent of our cohort of young adults with patellofemoral pain were overweight or obese.•Higher body mass index was associated with poor functional capacity, but not with knee or hip strength.•Higher body fat was associated with poor functional capacity and reduced knee and hip strength.•Lower lean mass was associated with poor functional capacity and reduced knee and hip strength.•Body mass index, body fat, and lean mass should be considered in the assessment and management of young adults with patellofemoral pain.
