Obese patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who followed a short-term, very low-energy diet showed improvements in multiple aspects of disease activity, a prospective study found.Over a period of 6 months, patients on the restrictive diet (640 kcal/day) lost a median of 18.7 kg (41.2 lbs), which represented 18.6% of their weight, according to Eva Klingberg, MD, PhD, of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, and colleagues.

A subanalysis of the early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) "IMPROVED" study has shown that changes in RA-autoantibody levels are not associated with disease activity or or long-term drug response, but instead reflect intensity of immunosuppression. Thus while autoantibody levels may be modifiable by our best therapies, modifying CCP or RF levels appears to have limited clinical relevance.
