Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and allergic diseases are result of a poor functioning immune system, giving dominance to either T-helper 1 (Th1) or T-helper 2 (Th2) diseases, respectively.

Studies have stated that there seems to be a relationship present between the immune response subsets.

This study was designed to examine the association between RA and respiratory allergic diseases in Korean adults.

The study utilized the KNHANES 2013–2015 data and excluded individuals diagnosed with RA before being diagnosed with allergic diseases, using age at clinical diagnosis.

Total of 253 RA patients were matched 1 : 1 with non-RA patients by a propensity score, using sex and age as matched variables.

Multivariate conditional logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate for association between RA and respiratory allergic diseases in the matched 506 participants.

RA was associated with an increased risk of prevalence of respiratory allergic diseases with an OR of 1.51 (95% CI, 1.31–1.75), adjusted for socioeconomic demographic variables.

The adjusted OR for prevalence of RA among participants with prevalence of asthma and allergic rhinitis was as follows: 3.12 (95% CI, 2.77–3.51) and 1.39 (95% CI, 1.16–1.67).

Participants with prevalence of asthma in particular had an increased risk of developing prevalence of RA.

Based on our findings, Th1 and Th2 diseases may indeed coexist, and one pathway may stimulate or contribute towards the onset of the other.
