SANTIAGO, Michael Silveira et al. Clinical profile and physical activity levels in patients with advanced hip osteoarthritis. Motri. [online]. 2022, vol.18, n.2, pp.156-162.  Epub 28-Nov-2022. ISSN 1646-107X.  https://doi.org/10.6063/motricidade.25423.

Hip joint degenerative pathology appears in young age groups, related to femoroacetabular impingement, and in advanced age, due to other inflammatory causes, with greater potential for severity in the presence of comorbidities. Within a sample group of 54 patients with surgical indication, treated at a university orthopaedic referral hospital, our objective is to carry out a descriptive analysis of anthropometric variables, level of pain in subjects with early hip osteoarthritis and to identify in the active-active group the distribution of domains of physical activity practice, according to the IPAQ. The prevalent age group was below 60 years (79.6%); most (44.4%) of those included in the study had femoroacetabular impact; among these subjects, 77.8% were active and 22.2% inactive. There was no statistically significant difference between groups in BMI (p= 0.838) and visual analogic scale (p= 0.259). There was a medium effect (ηp 2 = 0.072) for the BMI and a high effect (ηp 2 = 0.277) for VAS. 55.6% were male and 44.4% female. In conclusion, age under 60 years and increased incidence of BMI were present in osteoarthritis’s clinical diagnosis. Therefore, prevention and physical activity should be encouraged in individuals with this advanced joint disease.
