A growing number of studies have suggested that disease outcomes and response to therapy may be different in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are obese. The goal of this review is to examine the most recent literature, with a focus on the impact of obesity on the assessment of disease activity and treatment outcomes in RA. Obesity is common in patients with RA and can have a substantial impact on patient symptoms and outcomes. Obesity is associated with higher rates of chronic pain and opiate use, elevated inflammatory markers, and less reliable physical exam findings, making assessment of disease activity and treatment response more challenging. Despite seemingly worse clinical disease activity, evidence has accumulated demonstrating that obese patients with RA have less inflammation by imaging and lower rates of radiographic progression over time. Whether obesity influences the effectiveness of specific therapies remains controversial. Obesity is very common and is associated with more severe symptoms and higher rates of disability among RA patients. While clinical disease activity is frequently observed to be higher in obese patients with RA, it remains unclear whether poorer treatment response rates in this setting are related to reduced efficacy of therapies or are an artifact of biases in the accurate assessment of the disease.
