Hip geometric parameters are associated with radiographic and clinical hip osteoarthritis: Findings from a cross-sectional study in UK Biobank

Greater FNW and HAL were independently related to an increased risk of radiographic HOA, whereas greater DFH appeared to be protective. Greater FNW was independently associated with HESOA and THR. These results suggest that DXA-derived geometric parameters, particularly FNW, could help determine HOA and THR risk.
