The effect of relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, cloudcover, outside temperature, wind velocity and an overall weather index on Ritchie articular index (RAI) and pain registered on visual analogue scale (VAS) have been studied in active rheumatoid arthritis cases. Nineteen such cases were studied prospectively during the hospitalization for an exacerbation of the disease in the winter of 1981-82. Sixty-nine per cent of the patients were found to be sensitive, according to the RAI and VAS scores, to a weather indicator and 16% were not sensitive at all. To be weather sensitive, patients had to have at least one significantly positive correlation. The weather indicators most often positively associated with rheumatic symptoms were relative humidity, outdoor temperature, cloudiness and the overall weather index. There was no absolute correlation between the subjective claim to be weather sensitive and the objective correlations with weather parameters and joint pain.
在活动性类风湿关节炎患者中，研究了相对湿度、大气压力、云量、室外温度、风速和综合天气指数对里奇关节指数（RAI）以及视觉模拟量表（VAS）记录的疼痛的影响。1981 - 1982年冬季，对19例因疾病加重而住院的此类患者进行了前瞻性研究。根据RAI和VAS评分，69%的患者被发现对天气指标敏感，16%的患者完全不敏感。要对天气敏感，患者必须至少有一个显著的正相关关系。最常与风湿症状呈正相关的天气指标是相对湿度、室外温度、云量和综合天气指数。自称对天气敏感的主观说法与天气参数和关节疼痛之间的客观相关性并无绝对关联。
