Article Synopsis
- Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a prevalent congenital condition in newborns, leading to varying degrees of hip joint issues and potential long-term mobility problems if not treated early.
- Key risk factors for DDH include having a family history, being female, breech birth presentation, and clubfoot, with breech presentation notably increasing the risk when born vaginally rather than via Caesarean section.
- A study conducted in Saudi Arabia found that most DDH cases were in females, with bilateral hip dislocation being common, X-rays used frequently for diagnosis, and a significant number of cases linked to a family history of DDH.
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is responsible for significant mortality and morbidity among patients. Many factors are associated with the increasing prevalence of CAD in a population, including diet and lifestyle, physical inactivity, high cholesterol levels, and others.
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to assess the awareness level and knowledge about CAD risk factors and its prevalence among the general population in Taif city, Saudi Arabia.

Many studies demonstrate the risk factors and complications of knee osteoarthritis, but how physical activity impacts the osteoarthritis severity needs to be studied. The study aimed to assess the impact and association of physical activity level with the severity of knee osteoarthritis among patients attending a single center in the Aseer region, southwest Saudi Arabia.
