Impact of ultra-processed foods on rheumatic diseases

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate the consumption patterns of ultra-processed foods (UPF) among patients with chronic rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis, and osteoarthritis. It will assess the relationship between UPF consumption and disease activity using various evaluation tools, including dietary questionnaires and disease activity scores. The study seeks to understand whether UPF consumption is linked to increased risk or exacerbation of these conditions, potentially through mechanisms affecting gut microbiota and immune responses.
