[Effect of nutrition on the clinical picture of rheumatoid arthritis]

46 patients with RA, both sex, who had been suffering from RA within 3 and 20 years (average 7 years), were included in our examination. Suffering from the basic disease for various time, 11 patients (23.9%) were stated that some sustenance markedly aggravate disease. Reduction diet, which was started on their own, had markedly positive effect on the symptoms and led to better quality of life. We can conclude that sustenance has an influence on disease and reduction diet markedly positive acts upon clinical expression of disease.
