Obesity and high physical activity are risk factors for surgery-demanding osteoarthritis
People who are severely overweight are up to three times more likely to need total hip replacement (THR) surgery in later life, a team of researchers from Norway revealed today. In addition, those who take part in high physical activity at work are twice as likely to develop surgery-demanding osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip. Speaking at the Press... view more... (2001-06-14)
