Waist-hip ratio better than BMI for gauging obesity in elderly
Body mass index (BMI) readings may not be the best gauge of obesity in older adults, according to new research from UCLA endocrinologists and geriatricians. Instead, they say, the ratio of waist size to hip size may be a better indicator when it comes to those over 70. view more (2009-09-02)

Waist-to-hip ratio may better predict cardiovascular risk than body mass index
In a study to be published in the Aug. 21 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, investigators at UT Southwestern Medical Center found that people with a larger waist-to-hip ratio may be at increased risk for heart disease. view more (2007-08-14)
Engineers develop way of detecting problems with artificial hip joints
A more efficient way of detecting loosened artificial hip implants, which affect thousands of people every year, has been developed. view more (2007-08-03)
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator generator replacement associated with complications
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) generator replacement in Canadian patients with devices that were recalled was associated with an 8 percent rate of complications, according to a study in the April 26 issue of JAMA. view more (2006-04-26)
Abdominal fat distribution predicts heart disease
Abdominal obesity is a strong independent risk factor for heart disease, and using the waist-hip ratio rather than waist measurement alone is a better predictor of heart disease risk among men and women. view more (2007-12-11)
New study adds weight to argument for steroid injections in patients with hip osteoarthritis
New evidence, presented on Saturday (24 June) at the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology, suggests significant benefits for patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) when receiving intraarticular (IA) steroid treatment. view more (2006-06-26)

Drug banned by sports may be good for oldies
A world-first pilot study suggests that anabolic steroids, best known for doping in sports, may in fact help older people recover better after joint replacement surgery. view more (2006-06-15)
New Medical Research Shows Safer Flooring Could Cut Hip Fracture Risks by Over 25%
Elderly people living in residential homes are at significantly lower risk of hip fracture if they fall on carpeted wooden floors than onto any other type of flooring, says new research from the University of Warwick in a recently published report. Changing floor coverings could have a real impact on the number of hip fractures suffered by the... view more... (2004-04-27)
Ecological replacement of native red squirrels by invasive greys driven by disease
The traditional explanation for the replacement of the native red squirrel by the introduced grey over much of the United Kingdom is that the grey out-competes the red for food resources. A new study published in the March issue of Ecology Letters demonstrates that a virus introduced with the grey may also be a crucial component. The research team... view more... (2003-03-11)
Alternative steel loses its Achilles heel
Improved domestic and industrial cutting tools, stronger hip joints and better medical instruments should result from latest research looking at ceramic alternatives to steel. The key to these advances lies in zirconia, a ceramic with steel-like strength and hardness and high resistance to wear and chemical corrosion. It is potentially well... view more... (2003-01-31)
Even low levels of weekly exercise drive down blood pressure

There is no justification for denying obese patients knee replacement surgery: They benefit almost as much as anyone else from the procedure, concludes a small study published ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2008-07-24)
Study suggests hip fractures not caused by benzodiazepine use after all
Benzodiazepine use was not shown to be associated with hip fractures after all, according to a new study from the Department of Ambulatory Care and Prevention (of Harvard Medical School and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care). Previous epidemiological studies suggesting an association have been used to support legislation and policy decisions that limit... view more... (2007-01-16)
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)
