hip size increase in women

BACKGROUND: Surgical complications contribute to the significant mortality following hip fractures in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to increase our knowledge of surgical complications by evaluating compensation claims following hip fracture surgery in Norway. Further, we investigated whether the size and location of performing institutions would influence surgical complications. METHODS: We collected data from the Norwegian System of Patient Injury Compensation (NPE) and the Norwegian Hip Fracture Register (NHFR) from 2008 to 2018...

An increasing number of people are opting for cosmetic surgeries. For many years, the physical and aesthetic appearance of Caucasians has been considered to be ideal. However, it is now commonly acknowledged that attractiveness and aesthetic standards vary among cultural backgrounds and ethnic groups and that Western attractiveness criteria no longer apply to all. Herein, we conducted a comprehensive review of studies that examined cultural and ethnic variations in preferences for facial, breast, and gluteal aesthetics, as well as reviewed studies that investigated ethnic disparities in attitudes and motivations for cosmetic surgery...

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus has almost reached global epidemic proportions. Fortunately, the progress of the disease can be stemmed at the prediabetic level. The objective of the present study was to determine the frequency of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and its predictors in females of reproductive age in the urban slums of Lahore. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among females of reproductive age in the slums of metropolitan Lahore...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The increasing prevalance of patients with metastatic bone cancer and their improved survival puts more emphasis on the quality of treatment of bone metastases. Although most pelvic lesions are treated non-operatively, extensive destruction of the acetabular segment poses a therapeutic challenge. A potential treatment option may be the modified Harrington procedure. MATERIAL AND METHODS At our department, this surgical procedure has been opted for in 14 patients (5 men and 9 women) since 2018...

BACKGROUND: Excess body fatness and hyperinsulinemia are both associated with an increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer. However, whether women with high body fatness but normal insulin levels or those with normal body fatness and high levels of insulin are at elevated risk of breast cancer is not known. We investigated the associations of metabolically defined body size and shape phenotypes with the risk of postmenopausal breast cancer in a nested case-control study within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition...

Appendicular lean mass (ALM) associates with mobility and bone mineral density (BMD). While associations between gut microbiota composition and ALM have been reported, previous studies rely on relatively small sample sizes. Here, we determine the associations between prevalent gut microbes and ALM in large discovery and replication cohorts with information on relevant confounders within the population-based Norwegian HUNT cohort (n = 5196, including women and men). We show that the presence of three bacterial species - Coprococcus comes, Dorea longicatena, and Eubacterium ventriosum - are reproducibly associated with higher ALM...

BACKGROUND: Obesity is an increasingly severe global public health issue. This study aims to estimate the cross-sectional association between bone mineral density (BMD) and hyperuricemia (HU) in obesity. METHOD: A total of 275 obese subjects (126 men and 149 women) participated in this cross-sectional study. Obesity was diagnosed as body mass index (BMI) ≥28 kg/m2 , whereas HU was defined as the blood uric acid level of 416 μmol/L in men and 360 μmol/L in women...

BACKGROUND: There are many therapeutic options for dislocation following total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of revision surgery for dislocated hips. METHODS: Between November 2001 and December 2020, 71 consecutive revision hip surgeries were performed at our institution for recurrent dislocation following THA. We conducted a retrospective study of all 65 patients (71 hips), who were followed for a mean of 4.7 ± 3...

Bone mineral density (BMD) is heavily relied upon to reflect structural changes affecting hip strength and fracture risk. Strong correlations between BMD and strength are needed to provide confidence that structural changes are reflected in BMD and, in turn, strength. This study investigated how variation in bone structure gives rise to variation in BMD and strength and tested whether these associations differ with external bone size. Cadaveric proximal femurs ( n  = 30, White women, 36-89+ years) were imaged using nanocomputed tomography (nano-CT) and loaded in a sideways fall configuration to assess bone strength and brittleness...

BACKGROUND: The Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Joint Replacement (HOOS JR) and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Joint Replacement (KOOS JR) scores represent pain and dysfunction as a single number ranging from 0 (extreme pain and dysfunction) to 100 (no pain or functional limitations). However, scores between 0 and 100 lack a simple interpretation because they reflect varying combinations of pain levels and dysfunction. Given that most adverse events and improvement occur within the first 90 days after surgery, a deeper understanding of the level of pain and dysfunction may reveal missed opportunities for patient care...

UNLABELLED: Due to their low friction index, hip arthroplasties with metal-metal (M-M) friction torque have been an attractive option in young patients with high functional demand, currently they have suffered a decrease in their use due to the complications of some models and physiological reactions adverse reactions related to the elevation of metal ions in the blood. Our objective is to review the patients with M-M pair operated in our center, correlating the ion level with the position of the acetabular component and with the size of the head...

BACKGROUND: Obesity is accompanied by low-grade inflammation and leucocytosis and increases the risk of venous thromboembolism. Associations with platelet count, however, are unclear, because several studies have reported positive associations only in women. Associations with body shape are also unclear, because waist and hip circumferences reflect overall body size, as well as body shape, and are correlated strongly positively with body mass index (BMI). METHODS: We evaluated body shape with the allometric body shape index (ABSI) and hip index (HI), which reflect waist and hip size among individuals with the same weight and height and are uncorrelated with BMI...

BACKGROUND: Postoperative dislocation is considered the main drawback of posterior approach total hip arthroplasty (THA). Thinner highly cross-linked polyethylene and dual-mobility bearings allow maximizing femoral head diameter per a given cup size. This study evaluated dislocation rates as large femoral head bearings were introduced into a practice over an 11-year period. METHODS: A total of 1,511 consecutive primary THAs were retrospectively reviewed. Demographics, implant sizes, femoral head-acetabular cup ratio, and dislocation status were collected from the electronic medical record...

BACKGROUND: Obesity is known to stimulate the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway and both obesity and the mTOR signaling pathway are implicated in breast carcinogenesis. We investigated potential gene-environment interactions between mTOR pathway genes and obesity in relation to breast cancer risk among Black women. METHODS: The study included 1,655 Black women (821 incident breast cancer cases and 834 controls) from the Women's Circle of Health Study (WCHS)...

BACKGROUND: Hyperglycemia in pregnancy (HIP) is suggested to be a risk factor for elevated blood pressure (BP) in offspring. However, the empirical evidence was mixed. Thus, this systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to synthesize current evidence assessing the association between HIP and BP in offspring. METHODS: We searched PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase to identify articles published from inception until 9 February 2021. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed to calculate a pooled effect size and 95% confidence interval (CI)...

CONTEXT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, single-stranded, non-coding RNAs which regulate gene expression. They originate from various tissues including bone and regulate different biological mechanisms including bone metabolism. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this project was to investigate circulating miRNAs as promising biomarkers for treatment monitoring in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis on denosumab (DMAB) therapy. DESIGN, SETTING AND PATIENTS: In this prospective, observational, single-centre study twenty-one postmenopausal women treated with DMAB were included for a longitudinal follow-up of two years...

BACKGROUND: The minimum clinically important difference (MCID) is intended to detect a change in a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) large enough for a patient to appreciate. Their growing use in orthopaedic research stems from the necessity to identify a metric, other than the p value, to better assess the effect size of an outcome. Yet, given that MCIDs are population-specific and that there are multiple calculation methods, there is concern about inconsistencies. Given the increasing use of MCIDs in total hip arthroplasty (THA) research, a systematic review of calculated MCID values and their respective ranges, as well as an assessment of their applications, is important to guide and encourage their use as a critical measure of effect size in THA outcomes research...

Background: Fat deposition is associated with adverse outcomes. Waist-to-hip (WHR) ratio is a simple feasible index to assess fat distribution. Lipoprotein particle composition in relation to WHR and to what extent their association is mediated by insulin sensitivity are less investigated. Methods: In 504 randomly recruited Flemish (mean age: 48.9 years; women: 51.6%), we analyzed the lipoprotein particle constitutions using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy...

OBJECTIVE: This study employs feminist disability theory and the concept of structural violence to interpret the results of skeletal and documentary analysis of fracture and disease presence (i.e., syphilis and tuberculosis) among a group of institutionalized women who lived and died within 20th-century Missouri state mental hospitals. MATERIALS: The skeletal remains and corresponding death certificates of 52 adult Euro-American women housed in the Robert J. Terry Anatomical Collection at the Smithsonian Museum Support Center...
