American College of Rheumatology, Nov. 14-19
Distinctive Gut Microbial Composition Seen for Progressors to Rheumatoid Arthritis
Progressors had gut microbiome instability 10 months before RA onset; Prevotellaceae contribute to these changes
Bidirectional Link Seen for Rheumatoid Arthritis, Interstitial Lung Disease
Increased risk for ILD associated with RA among individuals of European and East Asian ancestries
Light Physical Activity Linked to Improved Vascular Parameters in RA
Sedentary behavior is negatively associated with baseline and peak brachial artery diameters, superficial femoral artery diameters
Anxiety/Depression Linked to HRQoL Losses in Seropositive RA
Moderate and extreme anxiety/depression linked to HRQoL losses, regardless of pain or discomfort
Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Tied to Hypertension
Highest risk seen in older patients with traditional cardiovascular risk factors
Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio Indicates Risk in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Risk for all-cause mortality increased in RA patients with microalbuminuria
Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis Frequently Have Persisting Pain
Pain catastrophizing and number of tender joints positively associated with persisting pain
Age-Related Macular Degeneration Tied to Heightened Risk for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Findings seen after adjusting for lifestyle factors and comorbidities
Rheumatoid Arthritis Tied to Heavy Economic and Human Burdens
Higher annual health care expenditures and lower quality of life reported for individuals with rheumatoid arthritis
