As the disease progresses, bone and cartilage are destroyed, resulting in joint immobility and significant limitations on daily life. While it may be thought of as a disease affecting older people, the peak age of onset is between 30 and 50, with women experiencing a higher incidence. However, early detection and appropriate treatment can slow the progression of the disease. This lecture will discuss the symptoms and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
