Abstract

Abstract Compare the incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with that in women without RA, adjusting for traditional CAD risk factors (age, smoking, race, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, physical inactivity, family history, and obesity). A logistic regression analysis is used to control for confounders and other variables. To compare the incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with that in women without RA, adjusting for traditional CAD risk factors (age, smoking, race, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, physical inactivity, family history, and obesity).

Data analysis will be limited to all women who participated in the 2010 survey and of the 7844 who completed the 2010 Women's Health Survey, 7338 (93.5%) participants did not have rheumatoid arthritis, 310 (3.9%) have rheumatoid arthritis, and 196 (2.4%) were missing
