Abstract

Objective: To determine the prevalence of arthritis and its correlation with biochemical markers in pre- and postmenopausal women.

Material & Methods: A cross-sectional observational questionnaire and laboratory-based study with 350 female participant was conducted.  Using commercially available kits and laboratory tests, various biomarkers (BMI, uric acid, creatinine, cholesterol, triglyceride, HbA1c, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), rheumatoid factor (RF), and anticyclic Citrullinated protein) were measured among pre- and postmenopausal female population.

Results: Overall prevalence of osteoarthritis (32%) followed by rheumatoid arthritis (31.4%) was recorded among pre and post-menopausal females. 49% of patients were belonging to age group 51-60 years. The levels of biochemical parameters were found significantly important (P˂0.0001) for menopausal arthritic female patients.

Conclusion: Biochemical parameters that show co-morbidities such as diabetes, cardiovascular and renal diseases, hypertension, obesity, and osteoporosis have borderline mean levels in women with different types of arthritis.
