ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating the impact of ultra-processed foods (UPF) on people with certain rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis, and osteoarthritis. UPFs are foods that are heavily processed and often contain artificial ingredients. Researchers want to understand how eating these types of foods might be linked to the activity and severity of rheumatic diseases. They are particularly interested in whether UPF consumption can affect the immune system and gut health, which are important in these conditions.

To participate in the study, individuals must be over 18 years old and have a chronic rheumatic disease. They should also be able to complete questionnaires about their eating habits and health. Unfortunately, those who are under legal protection or have more than one rheumatic disease at the same time cannot join. If you take part, you will be asked about your diet and how it relates to your health, helping researchers learn more about the connection between diet and rheumatic diseases. This could lead to better dietary recommendations for people living with these conditions.
