Abstract
A controlled study is reported of fertility and related factors in 209 women before and after the development of rheumatoid arthritis. Fertility was found to be lowered before and after the onset of the disease, and the menopause occurred earlier in those destined to develop rheumatoid arthritis than in control subjects.Keywords
