Help can being underweight affect the body's ability to deal with rheumatoid arthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: It really depends if there is a medical cause for being underweight. For instance, an eating disorder can reduce immunity. It also depends on how much underweight you happen to be. Mildly underweight in not an issue. Severely underweight is a problem.
