Obesity affects nearly one in six adults worldwide. Excess adiposity is a pro-inflammatory state associated with increased risk of several types of arthritis, increased arthritis disease activity and/or severity, and poorer response to certain treatments. Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in people with common arthritides such as osteoarthritis (OA), gout, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are a promising therapeutic option for people with arthritis and obesity or type 2 diabetes mellitus owing to their pleiotropic effects, including weight loss, improved survival and reduced risk of major cardiovascular and renal events. In vitro and preclinical in vivo experiments in arthritis have uncovered weight-loss-independent anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective properties of GLP-1RAs. In knee OA, clinical data suggest that GLP-1RAs improve pain and function and reduce the risk of surgical intervention; however, their effects on OA incidence remain incompletely understood. Evidence suggests that GLP-1RAs do not directly prevent gout attacks, but are effective in managing cardiometabolic conditions commonly associated with gout and other arthritides. More research is needed to clarify the effects of GLP-1RAs on incidence, disease activity, and progression of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis. Evidence is emerging that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective properties independent of their effects on weight loss. In this Review, the authors discuss the potential effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists on the incidence, disease activity and progression of various forms of arthritis, as well as practical considerations for their use in this context.

In the past two decades the field of hand osteoarthritis (OA) has moved from resignation to action. Despite progress, such as the recognition of the phenotypic heterogeneity of hand OA (including inflammation- and/or metabolic syndrome-associated hand OA) and the standardization of imaging and treatment outcomes, challenges remain in achieving truly disease-modifying therapies.

The collective priorities of the rheumatology field represent the lived experience, and therefore diversity of its members. The ‘mould’ of rheumatology, that is, its culture, structures and expectations, was not created for or by women, but women have slowly changed this mould to make space for diverse perspectives.

The worldwide epidemiology of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and peripheral spondyloarthritis, as well as of HLA-B27 and other MHC and non-MHC genes in these diseases, is reviewed herein. The frequency of axSpA is highest in circumpolar groups (such as Sami people and certain Indigenous American groups) and lowest in those of Japanese and African ancestry. The same pattern holds for PsA, although the overall prevalence of PsA seems much lower in East Asia, where it is less frequent than axSpA. The prevalence of PsA in people with psoriasis is increased where rheumatological assessment was carried out and seems to be increasing over time. HLA-B27 remains the most important genetic factor in axSpA susceptibility, although its frequency is lower in African American, South American and Middle Eastern populations than in others. The presence of HLA-B27 and other HLA alleles seems to be important in discerning clinical subsets of SpA and PsA, particularly those characterized by acute anterior uveitis or by axSpA with psoriasis, although these HLA-B27 and other MHC and non-MHC associations are derived from genome-wide association studies and other chip-based studies in large populations. These studies have been carried out mainly in populations of European and East Asian ancestry, and similar data from Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia are lacking. This under-representation is an unmet need in applying genetic factors to understand the pathogenesis, diagnosis and classification of SpA and PsA. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the epidemiology of spondyloarthritis — including axial spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis and peripheral spondyloarthritis — worldwide, as well as the epidemiology of genetic factors implicated in these diseases.
