I wonder how much that is attributed to difference in behaviour.
4-6x is a huge difference (assuming that's accurate) so it's unlikely all of that could be behavioural. However, high heel shoes and hand-bags are known to cause lots of posture-related issues.
In Australia, young women also tend to play different sports. For example, Netball, which is notoriously strenuous on knees and ankles.
- Mz 10y agoThere may be exacerbating behavioral differences, but my sons tell me women have greater lower body strength than men. Based on what I have heard about Chinese foot-binding and how it impacted female musculature, I strongly suspect this increased lower body strength is related to the skeletal differences between men and women. I also have serious health problems that cause belly bloat. As I get that under control, it has an impact on my hips and that always causes me knee discomfort (especially at night, trying to find a comfortable sleep position) during the time that the entire leg structure realigns. So my firsthand experience suggests that hip structure significantly impacts the knees.
