Predicting the Impact of Air Quality Index on Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Activity
These findings emphasize the importance of air quality management in mitigating the impact of environmental factors on RA, suggesting that exposure to elevated levels of NO<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>3</sub> beyond regulatory standards could exacerbate RA symptoms. This study provides a foundation for future public health interventions aimed at improving disease prognosis in patients with RA by addressing environmental factors, such as air pollution.
