Even if boron is not yet recognized as an essential element for the human body, its insufficient intake is considered harmful, especially for the osteoarticular system. A daily intake of at least 3 mg of boron can fortify bone mass and prevent the onset of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis. This research aims to assess the morbidity caused by rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory polyarthropathies in the population from regions with different boron concentrations in deep drinking water of the Republic of Moldova.
