Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease that predominantly affects the joints. The prevalence of RA varies globally, with generally a higher prevalence in industrialized countries, which may be explained by exposures to environmental risk factors, but also by genetic factors, differin...
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic syndrome that is characterized by inflammation of the peripheral joints, but it may also involve the lungs, heart, blood vessels, and eyes. The prevalence of this autoimmune disease is between 0.3% to 1.5% of the population in the United States (Feinberg, pp...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, erosive arthritis that requires early and aggressive treatment. Diagnosed clinically. Laboratory and radiographic testing provide prognostic information more often than diagnostic information. Early and aggressive treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD...

Genetics (i.e., mutations) has been assumed to be the major factor in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) etiology, but accounts for a minority of the variance in disease risk for RA. In contrast to genetics, the environment can have dramatic impacts on epigenetic
The increasing prevalence of arthritis, particularly among older adults, underscores the urgent need for effective drug treatments. This trend is evident in recent statistics from both the United States and Canada. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in ...
