The impact of lifestyle behaviours, physical activity and smoking on morbidity and mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved..

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with pain, disability and increased risk of developing comorbidities and premature mortality. While these poor outcomes have improved in line with advances in the treatment of RA, they still persist to some degree today. Physical activity and smoking are two areas of patients' lives where changes may have a substantial impact on the poor outcomes associated with RA. Physical activity in RA has been well studied, with many randomised trials indicating the benefits of physical activity on pain and disability. A number of observational studies have assessed the impact of smoking on RA, also indicating the benefits of quitting smoking on RA-related outcomes, but with less consistent findings, potentially due to epidemiological challenges (e.g. collider bias, recall bias). There are also a number of barriers preventing patients making these positive lifestyle changes, such as lack of time and motivation, lack of knowledge and advice, as well as disease-specific barriers, such as pain and fatigue.
