Risk Factors and Population-Attributable Fractions for Incident Hip Osteoarthritis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the huge burden of hip osteoarthritis (OA) and the lack of effective treatment, research into the primary prevention of hip OA is in its infancy.

Purpose

We sought to evaluate risk factors for incident clinical and incident radiographic hip OA among middle-aged and older adults, to evaluate the importance of risk factors from a preventive perspective, and to estimate the percentage of new cases attributable to these risk factors.

Methods
