A study links gut microbiome changes to rheumatoid arthritis, highlighting a specific strain in at-risk individuals.

A study has identified a link between gut microbiome changes and rheumatoid arthritis onset. Researchers found that individuals with the condition had distinct gut microbiome compositions, notably an increased presence of a specific strain of Prevotellaceae. This suggests that monitoring and modifying gut microbiomes may aid in predicting and preventing rheumatoid arthritis, particularly in those at higher risk. Further research is needed to explore potential interventions.
