Arthritis
(Rheumatoid)
Definition: Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic (long-term)
inflammatory disease that primarily affects the joints and surrounding
tissues, but can also affect other organ systems.
The
cause of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is unknown. However, RA involves
an attack on the body by its own immune cells (auto-immune disease).
Different cases may have different causes. Infectious, genetic,
and hormonal factors may play a role. The disease can occur at
any age, but it begins most often between the ages of 25 and 55.
The disease is more common in older people. Women are affected
more often than men. Approximately 1-2% of the total population
is affected. The course and the severity of the illness can vary
considerably.
The
disease usually begins gradually, with fatigue, morning stiffness
(lasting more than one hour), diffuse muscle aches, loss of appetite,
and weakness. Eventually, joint pain appears, with warmth, swelling,
tenderness, and stiffness of the joint after inactivity. RA usually
affects joints on both sides of the body equally. Joint destruction
may begin, often within 1-2 years after the appearance of the
disease.
