Disclosure of personalized rheumatoid arthritis risk using genetics, biomarkers, and lifestyle factors to motivate health behavior improvements:A randomized controlled trial
ConclusionDisclosure of RA risk personalized with genotype/biomarker results and behaviors increased motivation to improve RA risk‐related behaviors. Personalized medicine approaches may motivate health behavior improvements for those at risk for RA and provide rationale for larger studies evaluating effects of behavior changes on clinical outcomes such as RA‐related autoantibody production or RA development.This article is protected by copyright.

Impact of Sustained Remission on the Risk of Serious Infection in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis
ConclusionIn this study, lower RA disease activity was associated with lower serious infection rates. This finding may motivate patients and healthcare providers to strive for remission rather than only LDA.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
