Is it true that there is a correlation between arthritis and diastolic blood pressure?

Yes. Recent clinical and genetic evidence supports a correlation between arthritis (such as rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis) and elevated diastolic blood pressure.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 2 sources for, 0 against · Last checked 4 Aug 2026

The analysis

Both one study and one study directly support the claim by reporting significant correlations or causal associations between arthritis conditions and diastolic blood pressure elevations. The remaining papers are either about different measures (systolic blood pressure, pulse wave velocity) or entirely different health outcomes/mechanisms without contradicting the specific claim.
