It is unclear what ECM proteases to target with these drugs, however, because it has been difficult to ascertain the specific participation of each of them in RA.
Consistent with the age-specific participation rates, the enrolled cohort was skewed toward younger ages, with 48% of women between 25 34 years (mean age 37.4 years, SD 11.1).
In the default setting, we set the proportion of women starting and stopping screening at each round of the screening in such a way that the participation rates were in line with the current age-specific participation rate figures (Table 2) [ 11].
To take into account the reduced screening coverage reported at older ages in the demonstration project, for regular program-based screening conducted at county hospitals we assumed age-specific participation patterns, with an overall age-standardised participation rate of 62% in screened age groups (Table 1).
New rules should create incentives to work longer with no breaks in careers, increasing the age-specific participation rates of older people.
Table 1 presents age- and gender-specific participation rates.

Research suggests that support groups function with specific structural elements including voluntary participation, and an informal context with a flexible, non-hierarchical, non-expert, non-medical, and power-sharing model [ 23- 25].
