The comprehensive relationship between combined anti-inflammatory and healthy diets and all-cause mortality in rheumatoid arthritis: results from NHANES 2003–2018 - Arthritis Research & Therapy Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune inflammatory disorder. Diet is recognized as a modifiable factor that may influence inflammation and potentially accelerate RA…

NHANES survey data on 2200 #RA pts shows dietary modification can yield reduced all-cause mortality risk. Diets w/ high Healthy Eating Index & low Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) reduced mortality (HR 0.70; 95% CI: 0.53–0.92; adjusted P = 0.01)
