Research Notes on How to Prevent Rheumatoid Arthritis
Unfortunately, there is no known way to prevent rheumatoid arthritis.1 Avoiding injury to joints and early diagnosis can help to ensure a better outcome to patients suffering from the disease. Not only is treatment for rheumatoid arthritis more effective early on in the disease, it is also easier to administer.2
Fast Facts:
- Regular exercise and proper nutrition are important for maintaining good joint health.2
- Until researchers begin to understand the exact cause of rheumatoid arthritis, we are unlikely to determine a method of prevention.1
- Smoking has been linked to rheumatoid arthritis, so quitting smoking may help in preventing it.3
- Genetics has also been linked to an increased likelihood in the development of the disease.3
