Why does arthritis react when the weather changes?

Arthritis patients before rain or snowstorm.

I often feel that

time

Symptoms of rheumatism will also appear. as time passes

Some experienced patients can predict the weather changes.

, its accuracy is sometimes as good as.

weather prognosis

. therefore

What does arthritis have to do with the weather?

It will aggravate the symptoms.

Someone has done such an experiment.

Build a special "climate control room"

You can control five kinds of automatic recording at will.

Independent person

(temperature, humidity, air pressure, airflow and ionization.

)。 Then let arthritis patients who know nothing about the experimental situation live in the "climate control room"

The researchers observed them scientifically. The results show that

When the humidity increases and the air pressure decreases.

The symptoms of these patients are getting worse and worse.

And persistent high humidity.

be lax

Will not aggravate the symptoms. This result

This is consistent with the phenomenon that many patients feel their symptoms get worse before the weather changes (such as rain and snowstorm). In patients with arthritis,

,80%-

nine

0% have this phenomenon.

, the other one

20% is not affected by weather changes.

Some people may wonder about the reason for "predicting weather changes"

Why can arthritis patients "predict weather changes"

Why are they so sensitive to weather changes?

studies have shown

When the humidity increases and the air pressure decreases,

Fluid oozing from normal human cells.

Increased urine output

To adapt to the changes in the external weather. And arthritis patients.

The joint lesion tissue can't discharge fluid with the weather change.

So that the pressure in the cells at the inflamed site is higher than that in the surrounding normal tissues.

, leading to increased pain and local swelling.

Not a trigger.

Arthritis is closely related to the weather.

But this does not mean that weather changes are the cause of arthritis. Arthritis patients are all over the world. In the past, people thought that the onset of arthritis was related to the cold and warm climate.

,

tropical zone

The incidence of arthritis is very low.

Cold may lead to arthritis. But later investigations showed that

, located near the equator in Ecuador.

Puerto Rico

Incidence of arthritis

It's similar to Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan.

; Finland between the Arctic Circle.

Its incidence is lower than that in the Netherlands. therefore

, so far

There is no evidence that the weather will cause any kind of arthritis.

,

Geographic Latitude

There is no correlation with the onset of arthritis.
