In recent years, much progress has been made in the evaluation of inflammation and disease activity, however, there are other factors that have a high impact on the quality of life of these patients, such as depression, anxiety, fatigue, sleep disorders, suicidal behavior, fibromyalgia, sexual activity, sarcopenia, frailty, cachexia and obesity that are not always evaluated by rheumatologists. This review shows that the evaluation and timely detection of these aspects in patients with RA could interfere with the prognosis and improve their quality of life.Keywords: rheumatoid arthritis, depression, fibromyalgia, sexual activity, sarcopenia, quality of lifeEspinoza GMaldonado GNarvaez JGuerrero RCitera GRios CDove Medical Pressarticlerheumatoid arthritisdepressionfibromyalgiasexual activitysarcopeniaquality of lifeDiseases of the musculoskeletal systemRC925-935ENOpen Access Rheumatology: Research and Reviews, Vol Volume 13, Pp 45-55 (2021)
