  6. 14. Aerobic capacity in rheumatoid arthritis : aspects of associations with cardiovascular risk factors and disease activity

    Author : Lars Ångström; Anna Södergren; Solveig Wållberg Jonsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic and inflammatory disease that has been associated with an increased morbidity and mortality in cardiovascular disease (CVD). Low aerobic capacity is one of the strongest independent risk factors for CVD and all-cause mortality in the general population. READ MORE
