Mayo Study Examines Link Between Rheumatoid Arthritis And Chronic Lung Diseases

Article Date: 22 Nov 2006 - 18:00pm (PST)
For decades, researchers have suspected a connection between chronic lung diseases and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Previous research has yielded widely varying estimates about the strength of this connection, partly because studies have used different diagnosis criteria for these diseases. Addressing this problem, Mayo researchers presented preliminary data at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Meeting confirming that patients with rheumatoid arthritis are clearly affected by chronic lung diseases.

The goal of this study is to more precisely measure the cumulative incidence of lung diseases among people with rheumatoid arthritis. Mayo researchers studied a group of 603 people who met strict American College of Rheumatology Annual Meeting diagnosis criteria for RA, examining the subjects' medical records from diagnosis through their death or last follow-up appointment.

Two pulmonologists and two rheumatologists also studied the subjects' records for evidence of chronic lung disease. Using a list of strict diagnosis criteria, individual physician's diagnoses, pulmonary function testing results, X-rays and biopsy findings, they estimated the cumulative incidence of obstructive lung disease and diffuse parenchymal infiltrative lung disease (DPILD) in the study group.

Significant findings

A total of 603 RA subjects were followed for a median of 14 years. The cumulative incidence of obstructive lung disease using the list of diagnosis criteria was 4.1 percent at 10 years after RA diagnosis, 9.5 percent at 20 years and 15.5 percent at 30 years. The observed incidence of DPILD using these criteria was even higher: 7.2 percent, 15.5 percent and 22.4 percent after 10, 20, and 30 years, respectively.

"Having good data that supports a link between rheumatoid arthritis and chronic lung diseases is just the first step," says Eric Matteson, M.D., Mayo rheumatologist and the study's lead researcher. "We now need additional research to explore the most effective treatment strategies for these patients and to clarify how these diagnoses impact the quality of life and incidence of mortality in these patients."

New Study Weighs Benefits Of Exercise, Diets

Those in their 50s and 60s who want to lose weight might consider heading to the cardio workout room instead of counting calories, suggests new research out this month.

Both those who dieted and those who exercised lost a significant amount of weight, according to findings from an NIH-funded study on whether a calorie-restriction diet can extend lifespan. However, while exercisers maintained their strength and muscle mass and increased aerobic capacity, those who dieted lost muscle mass, strength and aerobic capacity.

"Exercise-induced weight loss provides the additional benefit of improving physical performance capacity," says Edward Weiss, Ph.D., lead author and assistant professor of nutrition and dietetics at Saint Louis University's Doisy College of Health Sciences.

"If push comes to shove and somebody wants to know if they should diet or exercise to lose weight, I would suggest exercise, provided they are willing to put in the extra time and effort and not offset the gains they make by eating more."

Weiss is a part of a Washington University team of scientists who studied healthy 50- to 60-year olds whose body mass index was between 23 and 30, placing them at the high end of normal weight or overweight.

Of the 34 study participants, 18 dieted and 16 exercised to lose weight.

The goal of dieters was to reduce their calorie consumption by 16 percent the first three months, and by 20 percent the next nine. Likewise, exercisers strove to burn 16 percent more calories the first three months, increasing to 20 percent the next nine months.

Both groups lost between 9 and 10 percent of their total body weight. Those who exercised engaged in 60 minutes of cardiovascular activity six times a week, such as a brisk three- to four-mile walk. Those exercisers who worked out for 90 minutes a day took off more pounds - 15 to 20 percent of their body weight.

Those who dieted lost muscle mass while those who exercised did not. This is because exercisers routinely challenged their muscles, which prevented muscle tissue from degrading. Dieters didn't work their muscles as vigorously as those who exercised.

"In addition, once a person loses weight, his or her muscles don't have to work as hard at everyday movements, such as rising from a chair, walking up steps or getting out of a car," Weiss says.

"Because they're carrying a lighter load, less demand is placed on them."

The muscles dieters use to carry their bodies "detrain," in much the same way that a weight lifter using less weight in the gym doesn't develop as large of muscles as one who uses heavier weights.

Weiss was careful not to rule out the benefits of dieting, though.

"It's important that dieting not be seen as a bad thing because it provides enormous benefits with respect to reducing the risk of disease and is effective for weight loss," Weiss says. "Furthermore, based on studies in rodents, there is a real possibility that calorie restriction provides benefits that cannot be achieved through exercise-induced weight loss."

In addition, those who exercise may be under the mistaken impression that they can eat more and still lose weight.

"A critical requirement for exercise-induced weight loss is that food intake does not increase," he says.

Weiss, who also is an adjunct research assistant professor at Washington University School of Medicine, conducted the research in the laboratory of John O. Holloszy, M.D., professor of medicine at Washington University. It was published in an online edition of the Journal of Applied Physiology.
