“…Prolonged exposure to higher levels of recreational physical activity has been reported to have a statistically significant increase in the risk of developing radiographic symptomatic hip OA in women and men ranging from a factor of 2 to 4.5, respectively (37,40,41). In contrast, several surveys have found no increased risk for the development of hip OA secondary to running or increased physical activity levels (42)(43)(44)(45).…”

Objective. Although multiple studies have reported the prevalence of primary hip osteoarthritis (OA), little has been reported on incidence rates of hip OA. We sought to determine the incidence rate and demographic risk factors of hip OA in an ethnically diverse and physically active population of US military servicemembers. Methods. A query was performed using the US Defense Medical Epidemiology Database for the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification code for hip OA (715.95). Multivariate Poisson regression analysis was used to estimate the rate of hip OA per 100,000 person-years, controlling for sex, race, age, rank, and service. Results. The overall unadjusted incidence rate of hip OA was 35 per 100,000 person-years. Women, compared with men, had a significantly increased adjusted incidence rate ratio for hip OA of 1.87 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.73-2.01). The adjusted incidence rate ratio for black servicemembers when compared with white servicemembers was 1.32 (95% CI 1.23-1.41). The adjusted incidence rate ratio for the >40-year-old age group compared with the 20-year-old group was 22.21 (95% CI 17.54 -28.14). With junior officers as the referent category, junior enlisted, senior enlisted, and senior officers rank groups had a significantly increased adjusted incidence rate ratio for hip OA. With the Air Force as the referent category, each service had a significantly increased adjusted incidence rate ratio for hip OA. Conclusion. Female sex; black race; age >40 years; junior enlisted, senior enlisted, and senior officer rank groups; and military service in the Navy, Army, or Marines were all risk factors for hip OA.

“…Mo st studies of top athletes and sportsmen have found no increase in the occurrence of osteoarthritis of the hip (6)(7)(8)(9) . These findings agree with our own findings and suggest that sport is unlikely to contribute greatly to the burden of disease in the general population.…”

“…A survey of patients with asymmetrical paralysis of the lower limbs following poliomyelitis showed a lower prevalence of hip osteoarthritis on the weaker side (3). But examinations of runners and ballplayers who stress their hips in the course of their sport have produced conflicting findings, some studies indicating high rates of osteoarthritis (4)(5) and others no such increased risk (6)(7)(8)(9).…”

SAIRANEN E, BRUSHABER L, KASKINEN M. Felling work, low-back pain and osteoarthritis. Scand j work environ health 7 (1981) 18-30. Low-back pain and the occurrence of osteoarthritis were investigated among 226 lumberjacks employed in felling work for an average of 20 a. The reference group comprised 98 persons involved in either light physical work or office activities. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups with regard to the occurrence of low-back pain and the subjective degree of low-back pain. According to the radiographic findings the lumberjacks had statistically more occurrences (62 %) of disc degeneration than the referents (50 %). No association between length of exposure to felling work and the prevalence of lumbar disc degeneration could be established. The occurrence of osteoarthritis in the hip and knee joints of the lumberjacks was 5 and 3 % for the lumberjacks and the referents, respectively.

Abstract: ST-T wave changes would be difficult to explain without specific myocardial involvement; probably, therefore, these were manifestations of Q-fever myocarditis.
