Association between sleep disorders and rheumatoid arthritis in U.S. adults
In conclusion, our findings indicate a statistically significant association between sleep disorders and the prevalence of RA in U.S. adults. However, given the limitations of the cross-sectional design, causal inferences cannot be made. Future longitudinal and mechanistic studies are warranted to clarify the temporal direction and biological pathways underlying this association.
