Association of Combined Exposure to Ambient Air Pollutants, Genetic Risk, and Incident Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Prospective Cohort Study in the UK Biobank.
Evidence for a potential link between air pollution and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is inconsistent, and the modified effect of genetic susceptibility on the relationship between air pollution and RA has not been well studied.. Using a general population cohort from the UK Biobank, this study aimed to investigate the associations between various air pollutants and the risk of incident RA and to further estimate the impact of combined exposure to ambient air pollutants on the risk of developing RA under the modification effect of genetic predisposition.. A total of 342,973 participants with completed genotyping data and who were free of RA at baseline were included in the study. An air pollution score was constructed by summing the concentrations of each pollutant weighted by the regression coefficients with RA from single-pollutant models to assess the combined effect of air pollutants, including particulate matter (PM) with diameters. During a median follow-up time of 8.1 y, 2,034 incident events of RA were recorded. The HRs (95% CIs) of incident RA per interquartile range increment in. The results revealed that long-term combined exposure to ambient air pollutants might increase the risk of RA, particularly in those with high genetic risk. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP10710.

Observational studies: Ambient air pollution and hospitalization for RA-ILD in a heavily polluted city in China.
Little is known within the medical community about the impact of air pollution on hospital admissions due to rheumatoid arthritis associated with interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). Our research aimed to explore whether there is a correlation and to estimate how the association was distributed across various lags in Jinan, China.The relationships between ambient air pollutant concentrations, including PM2.5, PM10, sulfur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and monthly hospitalizations for RA-ILD were studied by employing a general linear model with a Poisson distribution. This time-series study was performed from January 1st, 2015 to December 31st, 2019.In the 5-year study, there were 221 hospitalizations for RA-ILD in Jinan city. The levels of PM2.5, PM10, SO2, and NO2 were significantly related to the number of admissions for RA-ILD. PM2.5, PM10, and SO2 showed the most significant effect on the month (lag 0), and NO2 was most related to RA-ILD at a lag of two months (lag 2). The monthly admissions of RA-ILD increased by 0.875% (95% CI: 0.375-1.377%), 0.548% (95% CI: 0.148-0.949%), 1.968% (95% CI: 0.869-3.080%), and 1.534% (95% CI: 0.305-2.778%) for each 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5, PM10, SO2 and NO2, respectively.This study might add more detailed evidence that higher levels of PM2.5, PM10, SO2 and NO2 increase the risk of hospitalizations for RA-ILD. Further study of the role of air pollution in the pathogenesis of RA-ILD is warranted.

PARAMETERS OF ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION AND IMMUNE RESPONSE IN PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS WITH AND WITHOUT ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE.
The aim: To determine changes in endothelial dysfunction and immunological response in patients with rheumatoid arthritis with and without coronary heart disease.. Materials and methods: The study involved 151 patients with RA and coronary heart disease. The ED was assessed by examining the NO system in RA for determination of the content in the blood of the product of NO synthase - the final metabolites of NO2- and NO3- and the level of VEGF and CD28 in the serum.. Results: The results of the study of the levels of metabolites NO2- and NO3- in the first and second groups showed their increased content. Analysis of the content of VEGF in the blood for patients with different durations of the disease showed that the concentration of the studied protein grows larger with increasing duration of the disease. The maximum of sCD28 concentration was found in middle-aged patients, and the minimum (the difference was significant) - in the elderly.. Conclusions: As the duration of the disease increases, the content of VEGF in the blood of patients increases, which, at the same time, did not show age dependence on RA and did not change further with concomitant coronary heart disease. Detected concentrations of sCD28 are higher in patients with less prolonged RA, and begin to decrease with increasing duration of the disease.

Air Pollution as a Potential Determinant of Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Population-based Cohort Study in Taiwan.
Limited studies have explored the relationship between air pollution and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with the results being somewhat inconsistent.. This was a retrospective cohort study that included 322,301 subjects aged 30-50 years, selected from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan, were followed from 2001 to 2010. We used a time-dependent extended Cox model and incorporated time-dependent variables to estimate the associations between the annual mean concentrations of air pollutants with RA, including carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), particles with an aerodynamic diameter less than 10 μm (PM10), and sulfur dioxide (SO2), and reported the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).. Newly diagnosed RA was positively associated with a 100-ppb increase in CO (adjusted HR = 1.17 [95% CI = 1.16, 1.18]), a 10-ppb increase in NO2 (1.54 [1.45, 1.64]), a 10-ppb increase in O3 (1.37 [1.33, 1.41]), and a 1 ppb in SO2 (1.02 [1.00, 1.04]). There was no association between a 10-μg/m increase in PM10 and RA (1.02 [0.99, 1.05]).. Our finding suggests that O3 and traffic-related air pollutants (CO and NO2) may be positively associated with incident RA. This is an important finding given that many individuals are exposed to similar levels of O3 and NO2 globally.

Air pollution exposure increases the risk of rheumatoid arthritis: A longitudinal and nationwide study.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been associated with inhaled pollutants in several studies, and it is a disease of chronic inflammation. The association between air pollution and the risk of RA remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted this nationwide, retrospective, sex-stratification study to evaluate this association.. We collected data from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database (LHID), maintained by the Taiwan Bureau of National Health Insurance, and the Taiwan Air Quality-Monitoring Database (TAQMD), released by the Taiwan Environmental Protection Agency. The TAQMD provides the daily concentrations of particulate matter with the aerodynamic diameter <2.5μm (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from 74 ambient air quality-monitoring stations distributed all over Taiwan during 1998-2010. The LHID and TAQMD were linked according to the residential areas of insurants and the areas where the air quality-monitoring stations were located. A residential area was defined according to the location of the clinic and hospital that treated acute upper respiratory tract infections. The yearly average air pollutant concentrations were categorized into 4 levels based on quartiles. We evaluated the risk of RA in residents exposed to 4 levels of PM2.5 and NO2 concentrations.. We detected an increased risk of RA in participants exposed to PM2.5 and NO2. Among four quartiles of NO2 concentration, namely Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4, the adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) in Q2, Q3, and Q4 compared with that in Q1 were 1.07 (95% confidence interval [CI]=0.76-1.50), 1.63 (95% CI=1.16-2.31),and 1.49 (95% CI=1.05-2.12), respectively. Regarding the PM2.5 concentrations, the aHRs after exposure to the Q2, Q3, and Q4 levels were 1.22 (95% CI=0.85-1.74), 1.15 (95% CI=0.82-1.62), and 0.79 (95% CI=0.53-1.16), respectively.. The results of this nationwide study suggest an increased risk of RA in residents exposed to NO2.

Ambient air pollution exposures and risk of rheumatoid arthritis: results from the Swedish EIRA case-control study.
Environmental factors may play a role in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We examined whether long-term exposures to air pollution were associated with the risk of RA in the Swedish Epidemiological Investigation of Rheumatoid Arthritis Study.. We studied 1497 incident RA cases and 2536 controls. Local levels of particulate matter (PM10) and gaseous pollutants (sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2)) from traffic and home heating were predicted for all residential addresses. We examined the association of an IQR increase (2 µg/m3 for PM10, 8 µg/m3 for SO2 and 9 µg/m3 for NO2) in each pollutant at different time points before symptom onset and average exposure with the risk of all RA and the risk of the rheumatoid factor and anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) RA phenotypes.. There was no evidence of an increased risk of RA with PM10. Total RA risks were modestly elevated for the gaseous pollutants, but were not statistically significant after adjustment for smoking and education (OR 1.18, 95% CI 0.97 to 1.43 and OR 1.09, 95% CI 0.99 to 1.19 for SO2 and NO2 in the 10th year before onset). Stronger elevated risks were observed for individuals with less than a university education and with the ACPA-negative RA phenotype.. No consistent overall associations between air pollution in the Stockholm area and the risk of RA were observed. However, there was a suggestion of increased risks of RA incidence with increases in NO2 from local traffic and SO2 from home heating sources with stronger associations for the ACPA-negative phenotype.
