Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Urban heat island (UHI) exposure is an increasingly common consequence of urbanization and climate warming, but its association with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between UHI exposure and incident RA, and to further assess the roles of genetic susceptibility and plasma proteomic profiles in this association. METHODS: This study included...
