What causes rheumatoid arthritis?

Because rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, one’s immune system will attack their body’s own tissues, causing characteristic, long-term inflammation. It is currently unknown what triggers this disease. However, there is some evidence that lifestyle factors may increase one’s risk of developing the condition, such as smoking, eating a diet rich in red meats, and drinking a lot of coffee.
