Abstract

It has already been known for two decades now that the life expectancy at birth of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is lower than that of other individuals in the population. The risk of death is directly related to the severity of the disease and inversely related to the age of disease onset. Also, in these patients, the frequency of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is several times higher and is certainly one of the important causes of death. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is very high among these patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency occurrence of (MetS) in patient with RA and their association.
