- Study analyzed trends in osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) among U.S. adults with depression from 2005 to 2018.
- RA prevalence in depressed patients increased significantly from 7.8% (2005-2006) to 17.7% (2017-2018), becoming the most prevalent type.
- PsA prevalence declined sharply from 7.2% to 1.7%, while OA remained stable (11.7% to 10.7%).
- Depression was associated with a 40% higher risk of RA and a 44% higher risk of PsA, but not OA.
- RA prevalence was higher in women (18.9%) and obese individuals (21.5%). Non-Hispanic Black participants had the highest RA prevalence (21.3%).
- Findings suggest shared inflammatory and metabolic mechanisms, advocating for targeted screening and integrated care.
