ORAL presentation 
At ACR 2014, dr. Sparks has presented data from the METEOR database regarding the impact of obsesity on 1 year outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis patients. He concluded that obese patients with RA appear to respond to treatment and achieve treatment goals within the first year following diagnosis. Outside of this period, obese patients are less likely to reach low disease activity or disease remission. If you are interested in reading the abstract, please click here.
