"EpiCast Report: Rheumatoid Arthritis - Epidemiology Forecast to 2023" Published

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the joints. In RA, the body's immune system attacks the lining of the joints causing an inflammatory response. RA is characterized by joint swelling, pain, and redness, which can cause bone and cartilage erosion, and joint deformity. The disease can lead to premature mortality, disability, and decreased quality of life.

GlobalData epidemiologists forecast an increase in the total prevalent cases of RA in the 8MM, from 12,901,398 total prevalent cases in 2013 to 14,896,291 total prevalent cases in 2023, at an Annual Growth Rate (AGR) of 1.55% over the forecast period. GlobalData epidemiologists also forecast an increase in the diagnosed prevalent cases of RA in the 10MM, from 7,328,399 diagnosed prevalent cases in 2013 to 8,518,398 diagnosed prevalent cases in 2023, at an AGR of 1.62% over the forecast period.

For this analysis, GlobalData epidemiologists used country-specific data from peer-reviewed journals to construct the 10-year epidemiological forecast for the total prevalent cases of RA in the 8MM. GlobalData epidemiologists built the forecast for the diagnosed prevalent cases of RA in the 10MM using a combination of country-specific primary and secondary sources. A major strength of GlobalData's epidemiological analysis is the use of consistent disease definitions and uniform diagnostic criteria, thereby allowing for a meaningful comparison of the epidemiological characteristics of RA in the 10MM.
