I tend to be fond of studies done that assert two things: 1) Women should wear hight heels, and 2) Fat chicks are uncool. In this case, by “uncool”, I mean “at an increased risk for knee injury.
Indeed, a study suggests that women are at a greater risk of damaging their knees than men are, and scrubbing floors doesn’t exactly help. Neither does being overweight however, or smoking. While I wasn’t aware of any corrolation between knee pain and smoking, I’m not fond of cigarettes much either, so that finding is fine by me. Of interest to you foot fetishists out there, however: wearing high heels is not a risk factor for knee damage, and, in fact, it may be associated with a reduced risk.
At least, until another study comes along.
