New study uncovers effects of beer compound on cartilage cells in osteoarthritis

Formononetin (FNT), an isoflavonoid present in beer, was investigated for its effects on chondrocytes, the cells responsible for joint health. While low levels of FNT showed no harm and reduced inflammation, excessive exposure promoted catabolic responses, shedding light on the relationship between beer consumption and osteoarthritis risk.

High BMI linked to increased risk of 5 rheumatic diseases

A new study by Uppsala University shows that a higher body mass index (BMI) increases the risk of five different rheumatic diseases: rheumatism, osteoarthritis, gout, psoriatic arthritis and inflammatory spondylitis. The researchers also noted that BMI was a stronger risk factor for women compared to men in terms of gout and psoriatic arthritis. The study will be presented in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatology.
