The Effects of Early RA Treatment on CVD

Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis at Increased Risk for Type 2 Diabetes
New research shows that patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) have a greater risk for developing type 2 diabetes than patients with psoriasis alone or the general population. Researchers also found that PsA and psoriasis patients have a similar rate of increased risk for cardiovascular disease…
Moderate Alcohol Intake Decreases SLE Risk in Women
Beer, wine, liquor—alcohol contains elements that suppress systemic inflammation, and its consumption has been linked to reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and RA. A recent analysis examined the effect of alcohol on SLE risk in women from the two Nurses’ Health Study cohorts. The results: Researchers found an inverse association between moderate alcohol consumption and SLE risk—with a 39% reduction in SLE risk among women who consumed about half a drink of alcohol daily…
Researchers Calculate Comorbidity Burden for Patients with SLE
A recent study from the U.K. calculated the incidence of comorbidity associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), specifically looking for cardiovascular disease, stroke, end-stage renal failure, cancer, osteoporosis and infection. Even after adjusting for age, sex and other variables, investigators found that people with SLE have an increased global burden of comorbidity compared with the general population. Additionally, the study found that men with SLE had higher rates of cardiovascular disease, stroke and cancer, while women with SLE had higher rates of infection and osteoporosis. Overall, younger people with SLE had the greatest relative risk compared with controls…
