Feb 2 is observed annually as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Awareness Day. According to the Arthritis Foundation Malaysia, RA affects five out of every 1000 people in Malaysia regardless of age or gender. RA is characterised by the body's immune system mistakenly attacking its own joint lining, resulting in stiffness, pain and swelling. If not treated early, it may lead to joint damage and deformities over time. This year's theme. "Living Well With Rheumatoid Arthritis: Early Diagnosis, Effective Management, and a Brighter Future", underlines the importance of early diagnosis and proper management in mitigating disease progression and improving the quality of life for individuals with RA.
