Rheumatoid arthritis in women on the increase

Posted Oct 28 2008 3:32am

helping-arthritis-with-hypnosis Rheumatoid arthritis in women on the increase The United States, which for forty years has seen a decline in cases of rheumatoid arthritis among its women, has suddenly seen a a dramatic increase in cases of the condition.

The findings were presented to the American College of Rheumatology by the Mayo Clinic prompting a call for further investigation into the causes and treatment of the disease.

Between 1955 and 1994, cases of rheumatoid arthritis declined year on year until a shift in the mid-1990s where incidences began to rise up to the start of 2005.

During the previous decade, 36 out of 100,000 women developed the disease each year, this latest study has revealed a jump to 54 out of 100,000. In men, figures remained at 29 per 100,000. The overall population saw an increase from .85% to .95%.

The cause of the increase is unclear but researchers claim environmental factors may play a part in the increase of the disease among women.

Nutritional experts are claiming that toxic exposure is the cause and rheumatoid arthritis can be prevented by dietary changes. By switching to a plant-based diet that contains plenty of vegetable juice and fruits that reduce inflammation, the disease can be halted.
