About Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease, mainly characterised by inflammation of the lining of the joints. It can lead to long-term joint damage, resulting in chronic pain, loss of function and disability. The effects of RA are systemic, which means it can affect other organs in the body, and cardiovascular dysfunction in addition to RA is common. RA symptoms can make even the simplest activities – such as opening a jar or taking a walk – difficult to manage. RA has a worldwide distribution with a prevalence of 1 to 2% – which currently equates to approximately 100 million people. Prevalence increases with age, approaching 5% in women over age 55. RA is two to three times more common in women than in men and generally occurs between the ages of 40 and 60, but it can also affect young children and older adults. Currently, there is no cure.
