Women’s hips, knees, legs, feet and toes

Women’s hips, knees, legs, feet and toes are ailing,
i thought of adding this to the old ladies post
but sufferers of this ailment are mainly young women who are just over forty,
For some reason these parts are wearing out especially among women,
it is really hard to find a woman over 45 without one of these parts ailing.
I think it is proper to play the gender card here and ask the question:
why are there no researchers publishing anything on this phenomenon?
Is it the usual gender gap in research?
I myself suffered some of these ailments big time by spending a summer in the Sudan.
A woman from the rural areas, where people are still healthy
was asked upon return from the city about what had changed in the urban jungle;
her answer was, “well, people in the city, especially women have moved prayers from prayer mats to chairs.”
Knee replacement is a common and expensive operation, the recipients are mainly women.
What gives?
