“…Environmental factors such as cigarette smoking, air pollution, occupational exposure, as well as dietary factors, are aligned with RA development (7). Among dietary factors, intake of red meat and alcohol consumption are positively associated with the risk of RA (8,9), while higher consumption of fruits, vegetables, fish, as well as antioxidants, are inversely associated with the risk (10). Recently, the antioxidant properties of tea and coffee and their relation to the progression of RA has been taken into consideration (11)(12)(13).…”

ObjectiveProspective cohort studies on coffee, tea and caffeine in relation to the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have shown conflicting results. The aim of this study was to conduct a dose–response meta-analysis of cohort studies on the association between dietary caffeine, different types of coffee and tea consumption and the risk of RA.MethodsPubMed/Medline, Scopus and EMBASE were searched up to July 2021 to identify relevant studies that had considered different types of coffee (caffeinated or decaffeinated), tea or caffeine exposure with RA as the main, or one of the, outcome(s). Two authors independently screened 742 publications. Finally, five prospective cohort studies were included in our meta-analysis. Pooled relative risks (RRs) were calculated by using a fixed-effects model. We also performed linear and non-linear dose-response analyses to examine the dose-response relations.ResultsComparing extreme categories, we found a positive, significant association between coffee (RR: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.04–1.62; I2 = 0%, n = 5) and decaffeinated coffee (RR: 1.89; 95% CI: 1.35–2.65; I2 = 38.1%, n =3) consumption and risk of RA. One additional cup of coffee consumed per day was associated with an increased risk of RA by 6% (95% CI: 1.02–1.10; I2 = 0%). This increase in the risk of RA for one cup/d of decaffeinated coffee was 11% (95% CI: 1.05–1.18; I2 = 38). No significant association was observed between caffeinated coffee, tea or caffeine intake and the risk of RA.ConclusionWe found that a higher intake of coffee and decaffeinated coffee was associated with increased risk of RA. No significant association between caffeinated coffee, tea or caffeine intake and the risk of RA was observed.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=227665, identifier: CRD42021227665.

“…Our question of whether this could be a missed insidious late presentation was answered by the normal bilateral hand x-rays that did not show erosions, suggesting that this case was an acute onset of disease rather than a chronic ongoing process. Although the patient's alcohol use preceded the onset of disease, the literature on the association of alcohol and risk of RA is inconclusive with mixed evidence of increased, decreased and in some studies showing no association [6] [7] [8]. Furthermore, only few cases of RA initially presenting with pleural and/or pericardial effusion have been reported, however, of those that have, all patients complained of chest pain and/or shortness of breath [9] [10] [11] [12].…”

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic inflammatory arthritis characterized by joint pain and morning stiffness. The affected joints are typically symmetrically affected, and given the inflammatory nature of this condition, patients often present with warmth and erythema around affected joints as well as fatigue. Extra-articular manifestations, especially pleuro-pericardial inflammation, are rare initial presentations, although may be seen in advanced or undertreated disease. Case Presentation: We describe a case of a rheumatoid arthritis presenting atypically in a middle-aged male who came to the emergency department complaining of diffuse muscle pain and swelling in the distal extremities. Cardiac ultrasound revealed pleuro-pericardial inflammation and effusions. Myositis and infectious causes were ruled out and bilateral hand x-rays did not show erosions or any evidence of arthritic changes. All rheumatological auto-antibodies were negative except for rheumatoid factor and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) and a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis was made. The patient was started on prednisone with excellent response. Conclusions: This case highlights that rheumatoid arthritis can uncommonly present initially with extra-articular manifestations that are often manifested in advanced disease. Typically, extra-articular manifestations, especially those as severe as this patient's, occur with untreated, advanced disease and could accompany extensive arthritic joint changes. Thus, it is important to have an understanding of rare, atypical presentations of rheumatoid arthritis so that a high index of suspicion can be maintained to make the diagnosis and initiate treatment in a timely manner.

“…According to the previous studies (23,30,31), the following covariates were included: age, race/ethnicity (Mexican-American, Other Hispanic, Non-Hispanic White, Non-Hispanic Black, Other Races), body mass index (BMI, under/normal weight: <25 kg/m 2 , overweight: 25 to <30 kg/m 2 , obesity: ≥30 kg/m 2 ), education (≤high school, some college or AA degree, ≥college graduate), annual family income (<$20,000, $20,000-$44,999, $45,000-$74,999, ≥$75,000), smoking (current smoker, former smoker, never smoker), alcohol drinking (g/day), and physical activity (vigorous/moderate recreational activities for at least 10 min continuously in a typical week). In addition, current diabetes and metabolic syndrome were also considered in stratified analyses.…”

ObjectiveThe association between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and the risk of arthritis has not been reported. GDM increases the risk of long-term complications including diabetes and metabolic syndrome that are positively associated with the risk of arthritis. This study aimed to explore the association between GDM and the risk of arthritis.MethodsWomen (age ≥ 20 years) who had delivered at least one live birth were included from the 2007 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cohort (N = 11,997). Patients who had a history of GDM and arthritis were identified by in-home interview. Subgroup analyses were conducted by arthritis types and status of obesity, current diabetes, metabolic syndrome, smoking, alcohol drinking, and physical activity.ResultsGDM was associated with increased odds of arthritis [multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval): 1.31 (1.06–1.62)], and the result was similar in sensitivity analysis with further adjustment for metabolic syndrome [1.30 (1.05–1.60)]. In subgroup analyses, GDM was associated with increased odds of osteoarthritis [1.47 (1.05–2.06)], while no association was observed with rheumatoid arthritis [1.04 (0.69–1.57)] and other types [1.26 (0.94–1.68)]. GDM was associated with increased odds of arthritis in women without metabolic syndrome [1.34 (1.00–1.78)] and diabetes [1.35 (1.03–1.76)], in obese individuals [1.64 (1.24–2.16)], current/former smokers [1.43 (1.05–1.95)], and current drinkers [1.76 (1.00–3.14)], and in individuals engaging in higher levels of physical activity [1.53 (1.06–2.20)].ConclusionsGDM was associated with increased odds of arthritis, and the association was independent of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
