Risk factors
By Mayo Clinic
Factors that may increase your risk of rheumatoid arthritis include:
Your sex. Women are more likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis than men are.
Age. Rheumatoid arthritis can occur at any age, but it most commonly begins between the ages of 40 and 60.
Family history. If a member of your family has rheumatoid arthritis, you may have an increased risk of the disease.
Smoking. Smoking cigarettes increases the risk of rheumatoid arthritis in some people. Quitting can reduce your risk.
