Abstract
Joint damage progresses constantly over the first 20 yr of RA. It accounts for approximately 25% of disability in established RA. The link between damage and disability is strongest in late (>8 yr) RA. However, avoiding or reducing joint damage in both early and established/late RA is likely to maintain function.
