Dietary fiber intake associated with risk of rheumatoid arthritis among U.S. adults: NHANES 2010-2020
Generous intake of foods high in fiber may help curb the development of rheumatoid arthritis.
This study assessed the odds of having rheumatoid arthritis based on the level of consumption of fiber-rich foods. With the aid of food frequency questionnaires, researchers collated and analyzed the dietary fiber ingestion habits of over 15,000 US men and women. The incidence of rheumatoid arthritis in the study population was determined using hospital records.
Researchers noticed the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis declined significantly with greater intake of fiber-containing foods. This 2023 study of US men and women documented that high compliance with fiber-rich diets may help thwart the occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis in men and women.
