A nationwide study: prevalence of rheumatoid factor and anti- citrullinated peptide positivity and their contribution to rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis
RF and anti-CCP positivity may be seen in a healthy population with female predominance. As age increases, the risk of RF positivity rises, but anti-CCP positivity does not change. Concomitant RF and anti-CCP positivity shows the highest risk of RA development with respect to either antibody positivity alone.
