Does arthritis run in families?

Since my mom has rumatoid arthritis, does that make me more at risk of developing it? I also have very loose joints and am double jointed i various parts of my body. Is there anything i can eat or do to reduce my chances of getting it?

Answer #1

Certain types of arthritis can be genetic such as RA but it doesn’t mean you’ll definitely have it if it runs in the family, there’s a 50% chance you’ll end up with it.
