Combined healthy lifestyle score and odds of rheumatoid arthritis in Iranian adults: a nested case–control from PERSIAN Dena Cohort Study (PDCS)
Our findings suggest that adherence to a healthy lifestyle-characterised by non-smoking, regular physical activity, maintaining a normal BMI and following a healthy dietary pattern-is associated with reduced odds of developing RA among Iranian adults. The results of this study underscore the potential importance of combined lifestyle modifications in the prevention of RA. These insights emphasise the value of promoting comprehensive lifestyle changes as a strategy to mitigate RA risk.
