This research study is designed to better understand rheumatoid arthritis by following people who are at high risk of developing it. Researchers will track participants over two years to see who develops the disease and why, looking at blood tests, joint imaging, lifestyle factors, and medical history to identify early warning signs.
Right now, doctors can identify some people at high risk of rheumatoid arthritis through blood tests, but we don't fully understand which risk factors actually lead to the disease developing. This study aims to fill that gap by carefully tracking at-risk individuals to discover what combination of factors—like stress, diet, smoking, or physical activity—might trigger the disease.

You will be part of one of four groups depending on your rheumatoid arthritis risk level or status. Over two years, you'll complete blood tests, joint imaging (ultrasound or MRI), questionnaires about your symptoms and lifestyle, and allow researchers to review your medical records. You'll have regular follow-up visits to monitor whether you develop joint arthritis, with researchers tracking factors like stress, diet, smoking, and physical activity to understand what may trigger the disease.
