Why the study?
Are there differences in hip morphology between different races and sexes that might explain variations in hip osteoarthritis prevalence?
Are there differences in hip morphology between different races and sexes that might explain variations in hip osteoarthritis prevalence?
Differences in hip morphology between races and sexes may explain variations in hip osteoarthritis prevalence.
Racial and sex differences in hip morphology may underlie OA prevalence variations; hypothesis-generating and requires longitudinal confirmation.
Significant differences were found in measures of morphology between Chinese hips compared to African Americans or Caucasian groups; these may explain variation in hip OA prevalence rates between these groups and the lower rate of hip OA in Chinese. Sex differences were also identified, which may further explain male-female prevalence differences for OA.
