Dr Coras on "ITIS" anti-inflammatory diet in RA. Improves fatigue after 2 weeks. Fatigue response dissociated from disease activity response. Open label, but promising. Fatigue remains one of our biggest challenges in RA. Abstr#1699 #ACR21 @RheumNow @ElenaNikiUK https://t.co/tBMqmWAy8m

@LianneGensler Is exercise anti-inflammatory? In this study, healthy volunteers were infused with E coli endotoxin 😲 and their TNF levels measured. TNF levels were compared between groups at rest and groups exercising. TNF levels were ⬇ by exercise. #ACR21 https://t.co/Ylw7SQX32y

Physical exercise did not increase BME disease in SIJ and spine in PsA. The risk of increased BME after 11 weeks of HIIT was not higher compared to controls in a cohort of PsA patients with low to moderate disease activity @RheumNow #ACR21 Abst#1362 https://t.co/DHj4D5Ojb1 https://t.co/J4KV5zdpey

#ACR21 #Abstr0864 How does obesity (BMI=/>30) affect #lupus outcomes? Data from Toronto showed: 💠⬆️hs-CRP 💠No in disease activity over 3yrs 💠⬆️CV events (combination of low grade inflammation + hypertension) @RheumNow https://t.co/IBu8uNSAJi https://t.co/2aqz5e3rwi

🌞😎🍣 Vitamin D and Omega-3 FA ⬇️ Risk of developing autoimmune disease 1st prospective, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial Vit D 2000IU and/or Omega 3-FA 1000mg ⬇️autoimmune disease by 25-30% #ACR21 #ACRBest @RheumNow Abs#957https://t.co/7dODuplg7e https://t.co/GUKhYXbSXU

#ACR21 #ACRAmbassador Fascinating analysis of rheum dx from the (negative!) VITAL study (https://t.co/aMtMCIf1F1) Very few pts 278/25,871 (1.1%) but HR 0.78, p = 0.045 for vitamin D preventing autoimmune disease Do you believe it? If so, what's your public policy advice? https://t.co/ZkO5nHAJz9

Supplementation for 5 years with vitamin D3 +/- n-3 fatty acids reduced incident autoimmune disease by 25-30% in older adults vs. those who received neither supplement. The effect of vitamin D3 appeared stronger after 2 years @RheumNow #ACR21 Abst#0957 https://t.co/uOwNyjxEoG https://t.co/S5kIM4kj6L

Can vit D, omega-3 fatty acids prevent autoimmune dx development, even in non-deficient people? (some plausibility, no other meds can) vit D *might* have an effect, esp post-2y cautious interest seems okay! extension worth looking at VITAL trial add-on #ACR21 ABST0957 @RheumNow https://t.co/H5aF8Vl79u

I honestly find Vit D literature confusing! VITAL RCT omega3 and vit D in preventing autoimmune diseases. They seems to work?🧐The confidence intervals just shy of 1.00...I am still skeptical..but keeping vit D normal doesnt hurt I guess....#ACR21 @rheumnow abst#0957 https://t.co/QFcz2zK4Ic

Always one of my favourite sessions at #ACR21- #Rheumatology #SecretsAndPearls Dr Kolfenbach reminds us of the importance of discussing #lifestyle, #smoking and #diet with our patients in clinic. @RheumNow #InflammatoryArthritis #RheumatoidArthritis #PsA https://t.co/2gadRBLCTb

VITAL RCT of Omega-3 and Vit D in preventing autoimmune diseases in 25,871 individuals. They both work! Reducing incident autoimmune disease by 25-30%. This is game-changing! Abstr#0957 #ACR21 @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/BaeZDTTnQf
