Rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic and inflammatory autoimmune disease that primarily affects joint health. It is one of the most prevalent inflammatory diseases and symptoms include swollen, tender, and stiff joints (Smolen JS et al. (2016)). As with other chronic autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis is heterogeneous and has a higher prevalence in females (Radu AF et al. (2021)). Risk factors include smoking, previous infections, and low socioeconomic status (Smolen JS et al. (2016)).
