Hip dysplasia: a significant risk factor for the development of hip osteoarthritis. A cross-sectional survey

Objectives. The aim of this cross-sectional survey of 2232 women and 1336 men (age range 20–91 yr) was to investigate individual risk factors for hip joint osteoarthritis (OA). Methods. Standardized, weight-bearing pelvic radiographs were evaluated. Radiological hip joint OA was defined as minimum j...

Description
Summary:Objectives. The aim of this cross-sectional survey of 2232 women and 1336 men (age range 20–91 yr) was to investigate individual risk factors for hip joint osteoarthritis (OA). Methods. Standardized, weight-bearing pelvic radiographs were evaluated. Radiological hip joint OA was defined as minimum joint space width (JSW) ≤2.0 mm. Hip dysplasia was evaluated according to common radiographic indices. Radiographic findings were correlated to general health and lifestyle information obtained at baseline examinations and questionnaires. The study focused on age; self-reported hip pain, occupational exposure to repeated daily lifting, body mass index, smoking and hip dysplasia. Results. Hip dysplasia (HD) prevalence ranged from 5.4–12.8% depending on the radiographic index applied. Hip OA prevalence was 1.0–2.5% in subjects
