What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?

What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Beyond joint pain, rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that can affect various aspects of your health. Among the various body systems that can be affected by this condition are the skin, eyes, lungs, heart, and blood vessels.

Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder, is characterised by your immune system mistakenly targeting and attacking your body’s own tissues. Rheumatoid arthritis differs from osteoarthritis by targeting the joint lining, leading to painful swelling, joint deformity, and bone erosion. The inflammation linked to rheumatoid arthritis not only harms the joints but also poses a risk to other body tissues.

Your immune system targets the healthy joint tissue when you have rheumatoid arthritis. Additionally, it may result in health issues with your skin, eyes, heart, nerves, and lungs. Although a hereditary component is likely, the exact cause of this process is unknown to medical professionals. While there is no known cause of rheumatoid arthritis, genetics may increase your susceptibility to environmental factors that may aggravate the condition, such as infection with specific viruses or bacteria. Developing rheumatoid arthritis is influenced by various risk factors. These include:

Family history

Having a family member who has rheumatoid arthritis raises your risk of developing the condition.

Sex

The risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis is two to three times higher in women and individuals designated female at birth.

Smoking

By smoking, individuals not only increase their chances of developing rheumatoid arthritis but also worsen the symptoms of the condition.

Obesity

Having obesity increases the likelihood of developing rheumatoid arthritis.
