AIM: To establish a connection to body mass index (BMI) as a risk factor for the development of hip osteoarthrosis. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A sample of 148 people was examined, both genders, between 55 and 75 years of age. The first group (74 patients) was diagnosed with hip osteoarthrosis; the other was the control group (74 patients) in which the presence of hip osteoarthrosis was excluded. In all patients, the same diagnostic procedure was conducted, including medical history, physical examination (assessment of walking, range of joint motion), laboratory blood and urine tests, radiological examination and data regarding body height and weight in order to compute the BMI. Statistical analysis was done using the software package SPSS 14.0, Microsoft Office Word 2003. RESULTS: In the first group, average age was 67.76 years, with females prevailing (67.6%). In this group the larger body mass was noted (81.82 ± 12.18), with statistically significant difference (T-test 2.923, p<0.01); the average BMI was higher (30.18 ± 4.6), with statistically significant difference (T-test 3.832, p<0.01). This group had more overweight patients (87.7%), with statistically significant difference (Fisher test, p<0.01). CONCLUSION: Patients with hip osteoarthrosis had larger body mass and larger BMI, which points to the importance of this risk factor in the development of this disease and may help in prevention and early diagnosis. Key words: osteoarthrosis, HIP, BMI Napomena:
