Summary

This study follows 150 people at different risk levels for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to see what factors might lead to the disease. Participants provide blood, urine, stool, and saliva samples, and answer questions about their lifestyle. The goal is to identify triggers like smoking, diet, or stress that could predict the onset of arthritis.
