Impact of Weight Loss on Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Activity, Biomarkers
Researchers examined whether weight loss improves rheumatoid arthritis activity and/or musculoskeletal synovitis measures in patients with obesity.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Passive Smoking Linked to Increased Risk of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Passive smoking during childhood and/or adulthood is associated with increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis.
Low Cumulative Disease Activity Linked to Higher Bone Mineral Density in RA Cohort
Researchers evaluated the association between cumulative disease activity and bone mineral density among Latinx and Asian patients with RA.
Second Osteoporotic Fractures Are Common After Index Fractures
With the rate of a second fracture in high-risk patients still unknown, researchers evaluated the recurrence of fx in certain vulnerable subgroups.
Risk for Rheumatoid Arthritis Reduced for Patients With T2DM
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus have a reduced risk for rheumatoid arthritis, which may be due to statin use.
Severe T2D With Insulin Resistance May Complicate Rheumatoid Arthritis Cases
Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis patients can experience poorly controlled severe type 2 diabetes, say French researchers who suggest considering targeting insulin resistance through treatment for joint and systemic inflammation.
Diabetes Associated With Elevated Risk for Arthritis, Osteoporosis
Osteoarthritis was the most common form of arthritis in patients with diabetes but rheumatoid arthritis had the most pronounced association with diabetes.
Severe Obesity Linked to Rapid Progression of Disability in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Severe obesity is associated with more rapid progression of disability in rheumatoid arthritis.
Late-Life Mobility Limitations Linked to Obesity After Arthroplasty for OA in Women
Baseline obesity is associated with an increased risk for late-life mobility limitations in women undergoing joint replacement for OA.
Severe Obesity Tied to Faster Progression to Disability With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Severely obese rheumatoid arthritis patients also had worse disability at baseline than overweight patients.
