Abstract

We aimed to adopt a multidimensional approach and investigate the interconnections between biomarkers (cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases, and cortisol) and psychosocial aspects considering pain acceptance, the individual construct of pain perception in terms of blood inflammation biomarkers, anxiety, self-efficacy, and functional performance and to define the quality of life (QoL) in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
