Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, particularly the synovium, a thin membrane that lines the joints, causing inflammation and joint damage. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, Type 2 diabetes is primarily a metabolic disorder related to insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion, and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease.
