People living in poor neighborhoods have a higher rate and risk of arthritis - one of the most common causes of disability in the developed world.

Assessment of patient outcomes allows physicians and researchers to measure the success or failure of diagnostics and treatments that patients receive.

Partners of patients newly diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are equally emotionally affected by the diagnosis and go through the same grieving process as the patients themselves.

Almost three quarters (72%) of women with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) suffer pain daily, despite the fact that three quarters (75%) receive pain relief medication.
