Generalized joint hypermobility and risk of pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy: does body mass index matter?

Conclusions: Overall, evening pain intensity was similar among pregnant women with and without generalized joint hypermobility. However, women with a combination of generalized joint hypermobility and body mass index ≥25 kg/m2 reported higher evening pain compared to women with normal joint mobility and body mass index <25 kg/m2, suggesting that body mass index may modify the association. The estimates could be imprecise due to the small study sample, and our findings should be interpreted with caution.PMID:33849378 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2021.1913774
