Clarins在過去超過25年間致力支持關節炎研究。
Clarins去年與關節炎基金會合作,在國際間尋找研究項目,
以便找出研究環境因素對關節疾病影響的佼佼者,並提供資金贊助。
而獲獎者是……MIRIAD項目。
MIRIAD代表「強直性脊柱炎及菌叢不良的微生物研究計劃」。
為了解飲食及環境對關節炎的影響,MIRIAD項目制定了以下的目標:
1. 找出這些疾病的診斷標記。
2. 找出影響疾病的飲食習慣。
3. 針對一項類風濕性關節炎或強直性脊柱炎患者的診斷,以及重整腸道菌叢的全新治療策略,並對此進行測試。

Clarins創辦人Jacques Courtin-Clarins因妻子飽受類風濕性關節炎之苦,因此在1989年成立了多關節炎研究協會(Association for Polyarthritis Research), 並在2006年成為非牟利組織。 時至今日,關節炎基金會(Arthritis Foundation)是風濕疾病研究領域中唯一一個作私人籌款的機構。
Its objectives: fund rheumatoid disease research and encourage the discovery of innovative therapies. The foundation also works to raise public awareness about arthritis, how to prevent certain diseases as well as improving the quality of life of those affected by the disease.
Its resources: the scientific board brings together renowned European researchers and rheumatologists and will distribute more than 1 million euros in 2016 in the field of research.
Clarins負擔基金會的所有間接成本。因此,所收到的捐助會百分之百投入研究當中。www.fondation-arthritis.org
Olivier Courtin-Clarins
“It looks like an ordinary disease yet it is an unbearable reality. Painful, swollen joints, relentless fatigue, and a myriad of questions: Why? Why me? Why don’t the doctors know how to help me? Appointments at the doctor’s office, at the hospital, doubts about the pain… solutions that aren’t really solutions: pain killers, muscle relaxers, rest… it’s a disability that just gets worse and may even lead to a loss of complete autonomy. It’s a disease that’s as old as the world… But, over the past 40 years, these degenerative auto-immune diseases are better diagnosed. Some appear in childhood, some during the teen years and others in adulthood. They develop over the course of years and get worse, eroding joints and eroding one’s ability to find relief, well-being and peace with one’s body.”
What do you know?
FalseMore often than not, rheumatic diseases are associated with older people. But, arthritis can also affect children, teens and moreover, young adults. In France, rheumatoid polyarthritis begins around age 40 and 5000 children suffer from juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
False Genetics is not always to blame when it comes to rheumatic disease. Why is it, for example, that only 5% of those who carry the HLA-B27 gene will develop spondylarthritis even though the gene is found in 90% of those with the disease? Rheumatic diseases actually involve many factors, including environmental ones like smoking and pollution.
True These diseases bring on great suffering, irreversible deformations and, over time, greater disabilities and a certain social isolation.
In France, it is the leading reason behind leaves of absence from work (with an average absence of 2 months) and 20% of the people diagnosed with the disease eventually have to stop working altogether.
TrueDisheartened by the suffering his wife endured brought on by rheumatoid polyarthritis, Jacques Courtin-Clarins, the founder of the Clarins brand, established the Association for Polyarthritis Research in 1989. In 2006, the Courtin-Clarins family donated 4 million euros to transform the original organisation into a non-profit. Clarins assumes all overhead costs for the Foundation and, as a result, 100% of the donations received goes to research.
TrueWorking with other foundations like it around the world makes it possible to share research opportunities and to finance a strategic vision. The Arthritis Foundation in France works with other foundations just like it in other countries, especially with Arthritis Research UK, Rheumafonds Netherlands, Arthritis Foundation US, Arthritis Society Canada and Arthritis Australia. The CEO of Arthritis Research UK has been on the Board of Directors of the Arthritis Foundation France since 2015.
