Article Synopsis
- A study compared the effects of a remotely supervised weight loss and exercise program (SWET) with lifestyle counseling (CHAT) on older patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and obesity over 16 weeks.
- Both groups showed improvements in metabolic syndrome scores, but the SWET group had greater benefits in weight loss, fat mass, disease activity, and various patient-reported health outcomes.
- The findings suggest that structured weight loss and exercise are more effective than general lifestyle counseling in enhancing overall health and managing RA symptoms in older adults.
