TL;DR
It is found that women with endometriosis had fewer prior pregnancies, elective abortions and ectopic pregnancies compared to women seeking care for infertility, and there may also be an association between family history of cancer and the development of endometiosis.
Abstract
Body habitus, personal habits and menstrual characteristics are all strongly associated with the development of endometriosis. There may also be an association between family history of cancer and the development of endometriosis.

Age is the only sociodemographic characteristic for which a consistent positive relationship has been observed and the risk of endometriosis appears to increase for reproductive health factors that may relate to increased exposure to menstruation and decrease for personal habits.

It is proposed that the genetics of endometriosis may consist of early menarche, short cycles, painful periods, subfertility, and possibly tall stature that could be explained by genetic factors that predispose to poor endowment of germ cells and canalization defects of the cervix.

This study has shown increases in total estrogen levels and amount of bioavailable estrogens in association with alcohol consumption in premenopausal women, and increased total estradiol levels in the peri-ovulatory phase suggest elevated absolute amounts of bio available estradio.

Risk for endometriosis may relate to menstrual factors that predispose to greater pelvic contamination with menstrual products and to constitutional factors that influence endogenous hormonal levels.

The prevalence of endometriosis is relatively low among multiparous women, and certain menstrual and reproductive characteristics are associated with its development, and the relationship between various factors and endometRIosis appears to be site and depth specific.

This is the first population-based study using an extensive genealogy database to examine the genetic contribution to endometriosis and demonstrates that a genetic factor is present, with a raised risk in close and more distant relatives, and a definite kinship factor with maternal and paternal inheritance contributing.
