Why do women have more hip problems than men do (Including Hip Replacement Surgeries!)?
Little girls – probably because its considered a “cute” posture – tend to stand with their tummies out. They do that by tilting their pelvises forward. Reinforced by admiring grownups, this posture tends to stick, so that most girls and women have more forward pelvic tilt that boys and men do – anywhere from 5 to 20 more. And things that some women do, such as wearing high heels, tend to increase that tilt.
