Abstract
AbstractWhile previous rheumatoid arthritis (RA) studies have focussed on cardiometabolic and lifestyle factors, less research has focussed on psychological variables including mood and cognitive health, and sleep. Cross-sectional analyses tested for associations between RA and RF+ (positive rheumatoid factor) vs. mental health (depression, anxiety, neuroticism), sleep variables and cognition scores in UK Biobank (total n = 484,064). Those RF+ were more likely to report longer sleep duration (β = 0.01, SE = 0.004, p < 0.01) and less likely to get up in the morning easily (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.92–0.99, p = 0.01). Those reporting RA were more likely to score higher for neuroticism (β = 0.05, SE = 0.01, p < 0.001), to nap during the day (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.06–1.14, p < 0.001), have insomnia (OR 1.28, 95% CI 1.22–1.35, p < 0.001), have slower reaction times (β = 0.02, SE = 0.008, p < 0.005) and score less for fluid intelligence (β = − 0.03, SE = 0.01, p < 0.05) and less likely to get up easily (OR 0.61, 95% CI 0.58–0.64, p < 0.001). The current study suggests that prevalent RA, and RF+ status are associated with differences in mental health, sleep, and cognition, highlighting the importance of addressing these aspects in clinical settings and future research.
