Large increases in obesity and comorbidities, massively present in RMDs, including cardiovascular and mental disorders, contributed to increasing overall disability for all RMDs. After controlling for comorbidities, the disability burden increased (notably but not exclusively with mobility activities and pain) for low back pain and knee osteoarthritis and decreased for others except rheumatoid arthritis and neck pain, which remained stable.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Prevalence of most RMDs increased between 2008 and 2022, causing a higher disability burden, partly due to rising levels of obesity and comorbidities.
