Objective: To examine the associations of body mass index (BMI) across adulthood with hip shapes at age 60-64years. Methods: Up to 1633 men and women from the MRC National Survey of Health and Development with repeat measures of BMI across adulthood...

The anatomical shape of bones and joints is important for their proper function, but quantifying this and detecting pathological variations is difficult to do. Numerical descriptions would also enable correlations between joint shapes to be explored....
