Pregnancy Prevents Arthritis?

Giving birth may provide these new moms with a surprising, long-term benefit - a delay in the onset of arthritis.

A retrospective study of 550 women finds those who'd had babies were diagnosed with an arthritic condition about 5 years after women who'd never given birth. Previous studies have suggested pregnancy may protect against Rheumatoid Arthritis.

-Data on 557 women were analyzed for this study. All were between 18-45, and had been diagnosed with chronic arthritic conditions before the age of 45.
