Description
Laborie and four co-authors tied childhood growth to adult hip shape in this study from twenty twenty-five. The socket's shape at maturity shapes later arthritis risk. A Norwegian cohort supplied growth records from birth to age twelve for over seventeen hundred teens. Hip X-rays at eighteen sorted the sockets into six shape types.
Only about half the teens had a fully normal socket shape. Confirmed shallow sockets, a dysplasia pattern, appeared in a small share. For boys, faster weight gain in childhood linked to sockets that cover the joint too much. For girls, taller growth paths played that role instead. The authors call the effects modest but real, and strongest in males.
