Mentioning The Age
Unlike osteoarthritis that tends to occur late in life, rheumatoid arthritis may affect people of any age groups. On average, the disease happens between 30 and 60 years old. Even infants would develop a special form called juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The risk is 3 times higher in women than in men. Therefore, you should never tell someone that they are too young to get rheumatoid arthritis. It makes them feel like they need to explain themselves or to be defensive, when they do really not have to. [5]
