Description
Jinye Xu, Yunsheng Xu, and Fuxin Wei explore, in a 2026 study, whether two fat-based scores track with rheumatoid arthritis. Both scores estimate deep belly fat from simple body and blood measures, and they beat plain weight indices at that job. Their link with this joint disease, in which the immune system attacks the joints, had not been well tested.
They used a national US health survey spanning 1999 to 2018, with 15,918 people, of whom 1,988 reported the disease. Patients showed higher values on both scores. After full adjustment, the lipid accumulation score kept a clear link with the disease, and the top third of scorers showed about forty-one percent higher prevalence than the bottom third. The pattern rose in steps, which hints at a dose link.
