我们强调了类风湿性关节炎流行病学在四个主要领域的进展和新发展。正如我们和其他人（48）所建议的，进一步的研究应集中于了解病因和保护因素与类风湿关节炎相关的机制，并确定和修改与类风湿关节炎患者长期发病率和死亡率相关的预后因素。要在美国实现这一目标，需要大幅增加国家关节炎、肌肉骨骼和皮肤病研究所和关节炎基金会提供的资金。
We have highlighted advances and new developments in the epidemiology of rheumatoid arthritis in four major areas. Further research, as suggested by us and others (48) should focus on understanding the mechanisms which underlie the association of etiologic and protective factors with rheumatoid arthritis, and on identifying and modifying prognostic factors associated with long-term morbidity and mortality among patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Major increases in funding provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases and the Arthritis Foundation will be needed to realize such efforts in the United States.
