Description
Geeske Peeters, Isabel de Munck, Leigh Tooth, and Rene Melis track physical function in older women across knee or hip surgery. Their 2023 study spans twelve years before and after surgery, using a long-running Australian women's health survey. The aim is to see how surgery fits into age-related decline.
More than ten thousand women aged in their late seventies gave data. Women with hip surgery declined faster before surgery than after it. Women with knee surgery sat below peers but declined more slowly, at a like pace before and after. Women who bounced back best had fewer other illnesses and were more active. The authors say recovery hopes should be set with these long paths in mind.
