Factors that increase the risk of osteoarthritis include age, excessive joint usage, anatomical structural abnormalities, humoral, genetic, and metabolic factors, trauma, Body Mass Index (BMI), endocrine disorders, primary joint diseases, and cultural factors. One modifiable risk factor is Body Mass Index. Objective: Analyzing the relationship between Body Mass Index and the severity degree of primary knee osteoarthritis in the elderly at PHC Surabaya Hospital. Method: This research employs an analytical study approach with an observational study type using a cross-sectional research design. Data analysis is conducted using SPSS version 26. Result: Out of the 36 samples in this study, 35 (97%) patients with primary knee osteoarthritis in the elderly were female, and 1 (3%) patient was male. The most common severity level of primary knee osteoarthritis was grade III (47.2%). The analysis of the relationship between Body Mass Index and the severity of primary knee osteoarthritis in the elderly at PHC Surabaya Hospital yielded a p-value of 0.187. Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between Body Mass Index and the severity degree of primary knee osteoarthritis in the elderly at PHC
