(prHWY.com) June 6, 2012 - Amroha, India -- The study consisted of approximately 100 patients who were examined for joint pain and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as insulin, blood glucose, and cholesterol levels, as well as body mass index.

The results of the study showed that rheumatoid arthritis was associated with an increased risk of obesity. The excessive weight of these study participants may be due to the pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis, which decreases their capacity to engage in physical activities and exercises that are generally considered as effective measure to lose weight.

The risk of obesity in these rheumatoid arthritis patients also increases the likelihood of developing insulin resistance, which in turn may affect the control of blood glucose levels.

Spokesperson for Hashmi Health Care Dr. Hashmi says, "On the basis of these results, the study suggested that rheumatoid arthritis patients should be more actively monitored in terms of weight gain and that exercise schemes be recommended to lose weight."
