ABSTRACT

This study systematically analyzed the relationship between lifestyle habits and the incidence of hip joint disease in high-altitude areas, focusing specifically on the mechanisms by which factors such as low oxygen levels, strong ultraviolet radiation, traditional infant swaddling methods, and unique walking patterns influence hip joint health. This study provides a scientific basis for the prevention and control of hip joint disease in high-altitude areas.
