Eat Healthier in Hong Kong: What is Rheumatoid Arthritis? | 香港食得更健康:什麼是類風濕性關節炎?

Written by Thomas 撰寫人 Thomas

This week we have our final arthritis called rheumatoid arthritis, it is vastly different from our two previous arthritis. This is an autoimmune disease of which the cells guarding our bodies turned against ourselves and now attacking healthy cells. The healthy cells being within our joints mostly, but also among other cells.

The resulting damage cause inflammation and swelling, hence the pain sensation. When untreated prolongedly, chronic pain and joint deformation may occur.

過去一個星期我地提及到兩款唔到的關節炎,但今日的類風濕性關節炎係比之前更加特別,因為佢係一款自體免疫性疾病。當我地身體的免疫細胞喺不知明情況下開始攻擊自體細胞,而關節炎係因為佢地攻擊的細胞以闗節組織居多。

而當身體細胞受到破壞的時候,會令到嗰個位置發炎同埋有腫脹的情況發生,導致痛楚。

 

Risk Factor | 風險

Age, Family History, Smoking, Obesity.

年齡,家族病史,吸煙,過重。

 

Prevention | 預防

Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of heritable disease, or could happen anytime, therefore, there is no effective way of prevention. However, we do have some alleviating factors that could reduce the severity of the disease.

Being physically active. Quit smoking. Reduce weight if obesity.

雖然類風濕性關節炎係一種遺傳性疾病,但好彩都有唔同方法可以幫助到不幸患上人仕的症狀。

多做運動。戒煙。過重者減重。
