• RESULTS: In multivariate analyses controlling for age, race, education, age at menarche, pregnancy history, menopausal status, and postmenopausal hormone use, duration of smoking was associated with a significantly increased risk of both RA and seropositive RA (both P < 0.01 for trend), after adjusting for smoking intensity [9].
• Clearly, the beta 3-AR mutation has pleiotrophic effects on a number of physiological systems, including BMI, BP, and reproductive history, perhaps suggesting evolutionary reasons for its maintenance in the population [10].
• RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Menstrual and reproductive histories were obtained by questionnaire from 143 women with type 1 diabetes, 186 sisters without diabetes, and 158 unrelated control subjects without diabetes participating in the Familial Autoimmune and Diabetes study [11].

• The beta 3-adrenergic receptor gene Trp64Arg mutation is overrepresented in obese women. Effects on weight, BMI, abdominal fat, blood pressure, and reproductive history in an elderly Australian population [10].
• Steroid concentrations during late pregnancy and early lactation may be affected by both a female's reproductive history and her current condition, and may in turn predict subsequent life-history events, such as offspring survival [13].
• Twenty-four cycling swamp buffaloes with normal reproductive histories and 2-3 months postpartum were used to investigate the effect of addition of estradiol-17 beta and human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) to the superovulation regime on the level of ovarian stimulation and embryo production [14].
• Genetic polymorphism of GSTM1 in women with breast cancer and interact with reproductive history and several clinical pathologies [15].
• An attempt has been made to examine retrospectively any antifertility influence of ethylene dibromide (EDB) by studying the reproductive performance of men exposed to EDB, exclusively on the basis of their reproductive histories in terms of live births to their wives, subsequent to their occupational exposure to EDB [16].

Anatomical context of Reproductive History

• Thyroid cancer among young women related to prior thyroid disease and pregnancy history [17].
• DESIGN: In 84 in vitro fertilization (IVF) couples without knowing the semen parameters, reproductive history or the outcome of the IVF cycles, we determined the sperm CK-MM ratios (the proportion of sperm CK-MM versus CK-MM+CK-BB) [18].
• Dietary availability, although important, could explain some variation in carotenoid levels in plasma and egg yolks only in the context of reproductive history [19].
• Data collected included age, month of diagnosis, housing, reproductive history, results of bacteriologic culture of uterine specimens, serum concentrations of estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin and histopathologic features of the ovaries and uterus [20].
• The aim of this study is to evaluate the reproductive history, experiences, attitudes, and emotions with regard to having children in conservatively treated patients with Stage I epithelial ovarian cancer, any stage LMP tumors, malignant ovarian germ cell tumors (MOGCTs) and Stage I sex cord-stromal tumors (SCSTs) [21].

Associations of Reproductive History with chemical compounds

• Reproductive history, glucose tolerance, and NIDDM in Hispanic and non-Hispanic white women. The San Luis Valley Diabetes Study [22].
• These and other data do not support any substantial effect of reproductive history or oral contraceptive use on the risk of large bowel cancer; however, the possible protective role of postmenopausal estrogen therapy merits further investigation [23].
• Vitamin D supplements, caffeine, smoking and reproductive history did not consistently influence BMD or bone turnover [6].
• Reproductive history of women exposed to diethylstilbestrol in utero [24].
• Cows of normal reproductive history were treated with progesterone for periods of 2--3 months [25].

Gene context of Reproductive History

• A number of exposures, including reproductive history and exogenous hormone use, have been implicated as BRCA1/2-associated cancer risk modifiers [26].
• All thirteen birth histories in the familial group (IGHD type II) were unremarkable while, in the idiopathic group, three of eight available birth histories recorded a breech delivery or traumatic birth (37.5%) (P<0.05) [27].
• STUDY DESIGN: These annexin A5 parameters were assayed in 70 nonpregnant women with a history of > or = 3 recurrent spontaneous pregnancy losses (cases) and 50 women without adverse pregnancy history (control subjects) [28].
• OBJECTIVE: To examine whether recent oral contraceptive use and pregnancy history are associated with the risk of MS [29].
• Reproductive history and allergic rhinitis among 31145 Danish women [30].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Reproductive History

• The authors conducted a population-based case-control study of 410 women residing in three counties in western Washington State who were aged 18-64 years when diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer in 1988-1994 and 574 controls to assess the effects of pregnancy history and other aspects of reproductive life on risk of this disease [31].
• Early diagnosis and conservative surgical treatment of unruptured tubal pregnancy is appropriate for patients with poor reproductive histories [32].
• A total of 230 healthy women attending family planning clinics took part in a cross-sectional study, comparing contraceptive histories and serum prolactin levels [33].
• The human sera were obtained from three groups of females: (i) with normal reproductive histories (negative controls), (ii) undergoing cancer chemotherapy (positive controls), and (iii) with a history of failing to achieve or maintain pregnancy (test group) [34].
• The negative association of endometrial cancer with current smoking was not influenced by menopausal status as well as by other major identified potential confounding factors, i.e. menstrual and reproductive history, body mass index, oral contraceptive or estrogen replacement therapy use and family gynecologic cancer history [35].
