This article discusses the relationship between the development of osteoarthritis and hormonal status, highlighting the need for future research in this area.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the commonest joint condition globally, affecting 18 % of women over the age of 60 years, although the prevalence varies according to the definition used. Although it may develop in any joint, it most commonly affects joints of the knee, hip, hand, spine and foot. Because OA often emerges in women in midlife, there has been longstanding interest in the association between hormonal status and the development and progression of OA. Researchers have variably suggested that estrogen exposure may be a risk factor for OA development, or that, conversely, it may be used as a therapy to treat OA. This review considers the historical development of this question, first described in the literature in 1805, and highlights the need for future research in this area.
