It is difficult to : Predict avg life span of RA, but in general the quality of life and co-morbidities include heart disease that affect potential life span heavily depend on how well RA is under control. We are in a golden era that there are so many drugs available that we can now target either low disease activity to remission for RA, which significantly decrease overall mortality.
