This inflammatory activity causes extra-articular manifestations, including the acceleration of the atherosclerotic process. However, the exact causes of this accelerated process are under investigation. In this study, we compared the advanced lipid profile between patients with RA, patients with metabolic disorders, and controls. We also explored how microRNAs previously associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in RA are linked to these lipid subfractions in RA.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>The study included 219 patients with RA, 82 with metabolic disorders and 64 controls.

The notable association of microRNA-125a with the metabolism of both VLDL and LDL in RA patients suggests its involvement in lipid regulation.
