N2 - Colombia is experiencing two major phenomena, a demographic and an epidemiological transition, which is reflected in an accelerated process of population aging. This, in turn, increases the prevalence of chronic diseases, of which rheumatoid arthritis is one of them. According to the age of onset, it is classified into two subgroups: younger onset RA or YORA, and late onset RA or EORA (onset at 65 years or older). It was previously thought that the most important difference between the two subgroups was that EORA had a better prognosis than YORA. The differences between these two diseases has currently been described. This article presents the main differences as regards the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, treatment, prognosis, and functioning of patients with RA of early and late presentation.
