This study aimed to study a significant part of risk factors in the development of symptomatic cervical spine osteoarthritis for adult women. Results: Obesity as showed by body mass index ≥ 25 appeared in this work to be highly and significantly associated with the development of cervical osteoarthritis in adult women (OR= 7.48, P= 0.0001 and 95%C.I.= 3.66-15.29). Moreover, central obesity as calculated by the ratio of waist to hip ≥ 0.85 was also found to be linked with the occurrence of cervical osteoarthritis (OR=8.43, P= 0.0001, 95%C.I.= 3.66- 10.77). Having an equal or more than 5 life births as a sign of high parity revealed positive association in the occurrence of cervical osteoarthritis (OR= 6.97, P= 0.0001, 95%C.I.= 3.55-13.70). In addition, positive family history for cervical osteoarthritis was also found to be positively and significantly (P= 0.001) associated to the occurrence of the disease. Lastly, unhealthy nutritional behavior as indicated by too much intake of salts, sugars and fats was one of the important risk factor in the occurrence of cervical osteoarthritis (OR= 3.21, P= 0.002, 95%C.I.= 1.64-5.94).
