NCT ID NCT06670183
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how different eating habits—like being a vegetarian, eating fish, or drinking alcohol—might affect a person's chance of developing rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers are using data from half a million UK adults aged 40 to 70. They are not testing a new treatment, but rather analyzing existing information to find patterns that could help lower risk.
