This study examined the relationship between body mass index (BMI), weight change, and arthritis in women.
Data were taken from the 1982-1984 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Epidemiologic Follow-Up Study of 3617 women, aged 25 to 74 years.
Women with a BMI greater than 32 at initial interview were at significantly higher risk of developing arthritis than women with a BMI of 19 to 21.9. Compared with stable-weight women with a BMI of less than 25, women who were obese at initial interview (BMI > 29) and who subsequently maintained their weight or gained more than 10% of their body weight were at significantly higher risk of developing arthritis.
Attaining and maintaining a healthy weight may reduce the risk of developing arthritis.
本研究探讨了体重指数(BMI)、体重变化与女性关节炎之间的关系。
数据取自1982 - 1984年全国健康和营养检查调查对3617名年龄在25至74岁女性的流行病学随访研究。
初次访谈时BMI大于32的女性患关节炎的风险显著高于BMI为19至21.9的女性。与初次访谈时BMI小于25且体重稳定的女性相比,初次访谈时肥胖(BMI>29)且随后体重维持不变或体重增加超过10%的女性患关节炎的风险显著更高。
达到并维持健康体重可能会降低患关节炎的风险。
