Abstract
Variation in OA can be explained by age, stature, body mass, and structural adaptation related to habitual use. The negative correlation between femoral torsional strength with OA suggests that long-term, repetitive physical work capacity in childhood may be protective against OA development later in life. The multifactorial aetiology of OA requires incorporating multiple lines of evidence to interpret individual or population health from bone samples.
