Abstrakt: Objectives: Studies that have examined the correlation between reproductive history and knee osteoarthritis (KOA) have had heterogeneous findings. We aimed to investigate the reproductive history and its relationship with pain and physical dysfunction in women with KOA. This case-control study, comprising 204 women aged 50 and older with and without KOA recruited through random cluster sampling, was executed from February 2018 to October 2018 in the health centers of Tabriz City. The reproductive history questionnaire was completed for the subjects in two groups. Pain intensity and functional dysfunction caused by KOA were evaluated using the Visual analogue scale and the Western Ontario and McMaster index, respectively.
Results: The women's age of menarche in the case group was significantly lower (p = 0.031), and the number of pregnancies (p = 0.017) and the average duration of breastfeeding (p = 0.039) were substantially higher than those of the control group. Older age at the first menstruation (OR = 0.851) was a protective factor, and higher parity (OR = 8.726) was a risk factor for KOA. In the women with KOA, the younger age of the mother at the birth of the first alive baby and the longer duration of breastfeeding were associated with higher pain intensity and functional disorders.
