Arthritis & Weight
The relationship between arthritis and body weight is complicated.
Obesity is a major risk factor for arthritis. At the same time, people living with arthritis, who carry extra weight, can experience higher disease activity or severity. Medications, fluctuating mental health, pain and fatigue also play a role – often impacting a person’s ability to exercise and prepare healthy meals.
Arthritis Research Canada’s scientists are conducting research to help millions manage their weight while living with arthritis.
Learn more about this important research and hear from Eileen Davidson, who has struggled with her weight since her rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis at age 29.
