Q. Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by

A

Lack of immunity

B

Junk food

C

Damage to the immune system

D

The immune system mistakenly attacking its own tissues

Solution:

An autoimmune disorder, rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body’s tissues.
Unlike the wear-and-tear damage of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis affects the lining of your joints, causing a painful swelling that can eventually result in bone erosion and joint deformity.
However, it’s not yet known what triggers this.
Your immune system normally makes antibodies that attack bacteria and viruses, helping to fight infection.
