Finger length reveals: Arthritis risk

Have you ever noticed how, typically, men’s ring fingers are longer than their index fingers? Well, the same trait in women could signal serious health issues, namely osteoarthritis in the knees. This correlation was found during an Arthritis & Rheumatism study.

Experts believe that the reason behind this difference in finger length may be low estrogen levels. On top of a signal for osteoarthritis in the knees for women, people of both genders that have this feature have shown both verbal aggression and a higher athletic ability.

A longer ring finger also indicates an in-utero testosterone surge during the second trimester for men. But what else can men learn from this sort of physical feature? Well, the longer ring finger is also associated with having better relationships with women and having more children- all reasons to smile about, except that a British Journal of Cancer study also found a connection to a higher risk of prostate cancer.
