u003cstrongu003eWhat happens to people with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis after the age of 16?u003c/strongu003e

It may seem logical to think of JRA as simply a form of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) experienced by people under the age of 16. In reality, u003cstrongu003eJRA is a distinct condition with its u003c/strongu003echaracteristics. For this reason, it is not usual for JRA to simply become or graduate from rheumatoid arthritis in people over the age of 16. Instead, it is better to describe people in this situation as adults with a history of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eIn rare cases, however, children diagnosed with JRA may have RA. If this is identified, it will then be accurate to describe the condition like RA. In other rare cases, the symptoms of JRA may fade as a child enters adulthood. This is typically the case in those who are diagnosed with JRA at a very young age and experience a mild form of the condition.u003csupu003eu003ca href=u0022https://adoctor.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=4877u0026amp;action=edit#fn15u0022u003e[15]u003c/au003eu003c/supu003e

u003cstrongu003eWhat is the life expectancy for people with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis?u003c/strongu003e

It is difficult to give an accurate prognosis in cases of JRA. The condition is typically experienced throughout one’s life, but with proper treatment and management, its symptoms can be effectively controlled. However, average life expectancies for people with JRA are generally shorter than those for people without the condition. The main reason for this is not the condition itself but the complications which can arise from the condition.u003csupu003eu003ca href=u0022https://adoctor.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=4877u0026amp;action=edit#fn16u0022u003e[16]u003c/au003eu003c/supu003e

**What is Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis?**

Juvenile rheumatoid ⁣arthritis (JRA)⁤ is a type of arthritis that affects children under the age of ⁢16‍ [2]. It is also known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) [1]. JRA⁣ is an autoimmune disease, which⁢ means that ‍the body’s⁤ immune system attacks its ⁣own tissues [3].

**Symptoms of JRA**

The symptoms of JRA ‌can vary depending on the type of JRA a child‌ has. The most common symptoms include:

* ⁣Joint pain, swelling, and stiffness

* Fever

* Rash

* Fatigue

* Loss of appetite

* Weight⁢ loss

**Diagnosis of JRA**

JRA‌ is diagnosed based on a child’s symptoms, a physical examination, and blood tests. There is no single test that can diagnose JRA [3].

**Treatment of JRA**

There is ⁤no cure for JRA, but treatment can help to relieve‌ symptoms and prevent joint damage. Treatment options include:

* Medications to reduce inflammation and pain

* Physical therapy to help improve range of motion ⁢and flexibility

*⁢ Occupational therapy to help children learn ⁣how to do everyday activities

* Surgery to repair damaged joints

**Prognosis of JRA**

The prognosis for children with JRA varies. Some children will have mild symptoms that go away after a few ⁣months. Others will have‍ more severe symptoms that⁤ can ⁤last for many years. However, with early diagnosis and treatment, most children with JRA can live‌ full and active lives [3].
