污染使风湿类关节炎恶化,研究把高PM2.5水平与增加的风险和严重性联系起来,特别是在城市。 Pollution worsens rheumatoid arthritis, with studies linking high PM2.5 levels to increased risk and severity, especially in cities.

专家认为,空气质量差,特别是高含量的PM2.5和其他污染物,越来越多地与风湿性关节炎(RA)的触发和恶化有关,风湿性关节炎是一种慢性自发性联合疾病。 Poor air quality, especially high levels of PM2.5 and other pollutants, is increasingly linked to triggering and worsening rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune joint disease, according to experts. 欧洲、中国和印度的研究显示,污染助长了系统的炎症和氧化性压力,加速了RA的发作和严重程度,即使在没有遗传风险因素的人中也是如此。 Studies in Europe, China, and India show pollution contributes to systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, accelerating RA onset and severity, even in people without genetic risk factors. 交通量大、绿色空间有限的城市地区的罗阿比率较高。 Urban areas with heavy traffic and limited green space see higher RA rates. 研究人员敦促采取紧急行动,包括更严格的污染控制、扩大绿色空间、更清洁的交通和早期筛查,因为RA没有治疗方法,影响到印度约1%的成年人。 Researchers urge urgent action, including stricter pollution controls, expanded green spaces, cleaner transportation, and early screening, as RA has no cure and affects about 1% of adults in India.
