Short skirts leading to aching bones? That's the doctor's verdict, with news that arthritis is becoming a more common disease among young women who wear skimpy clothes in winter, according to a survey at some of Tianjin's largest hospitals.
The survey says three times more arthritis patients are showing up this year over last.
Experts say most women are more vulnerable to cold than men and warn that they should wear enough clothes in winter to keep their bodies warm. Otherwise, arthritis can set in.
And when it is diagnosed, the disease usually worsens, the Tianjin Morning Post reports.
