I'm a highschool student here doing a biology project about arthritis. My mom and grandma both have arthritis so I was very interested in learning more My research question is, Is arthritis more commonly genetic, or caused from environmental factors. If you're interested in helping please answer the following..
-Gender
-Do you live in a rural or urban area?
-Smoking history?
-Have you had any autoimmune diseases?
-Was your birth weight above average?
-Allergies?
Thanks SO so much in advance!(: Have a nice day!
