Risk factors for hip pain make you more likely to experience it. Some (but not all) overlap with the causes of hip pain, such as different types of arthritis and injuries. Osteoarthritis
The goal of prevention would be to avoid joint damage and premature hip osteoarthritis. [27] Studies are examining the effectiveness of screening adolescents in school and targeting at-risk individuals for education, physical therapy and decreasing participation in possibly harmful activities/sports as referenced in the epidemiology section. [27]
With hip osteoarthritis, in particular, increased risk of development over time was found among those who work in bent or twisted positions. [8] For knee osteoarthritis, in particular, increased risk was found among those who work in a kneeling or squatting position , experience heavy lifting in combination with a kneeling or squatting posture ...
Post-traumatic osteoarthritis is the most common variation of post-traumatic arthritis. [3] Between 20 and 50% [4] of all osteoarthritis cases are preceded by post-traumatic arthritis. Patients having post-traumatic osteoarthritis are usually younger than osteoarthritis patients without any previous physical injuries. [5]
The risk factors with the strongest association for developing inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis are the female sex, a family history of rheumatoid arthritis, age, obesity, previous joint damage from an injury, and exposure to tobacco smoke.
The NIAMS is committed to pursuing new opportunities in genetics and genomics research, clinical trial design, pain, and biopsychosocial aspects of diseases in this portfolio. It is also committed to identification of risk factors for these disorders, enhancement of disease prediction, and advancement of prevention strategies.
The main risk factors for osteoarthritis are age [2] [3] and body mass index, [4] [3] as such, OA is predominantly considered a disease of aging. [5] [6] As the body ages, catabolic factors begin to predominate over anabolic factors resulting in a reduction of extracellular matrix gene expression [7] and reduced cellularity [8] [7] in articular ...
Risk factors include bone fractures, joint dislocations, alcoholism, and the use of high-dose steroids. [1] The condition may also occur without any clear reason. [1] The most commonly affected bone is the femur (thigh bone). [1] Other relatively common sites include the upper arm bone, knee, shoulder, and ankle. [1]
