Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic disease that attacks connective tissue joints, muscles, tendons, and fibrous tissue. This disease tends to affect adults aged 40 years and over and is a chronic disabling condition that often causes pain and disability. This type of research is analytical with a cross-sectional study design. The population in this study was all elderly people with rheumatoid arthritis who sought treatment at the Seunuddon Community Health Center. The number of samples was 40 people determined by accidental sampling. The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between education level and elderly behavior in the management of rheumatoid arthritis. This research was conducted from 18 to 31 August 2022 at the Seunuddon Community Health Center, North Aceh Regency, using a questionnaire distribution method. The research instrument used was a questionnaire. The test used was chi-square. The results of the univariate analysis show that the education level of the elderly is mostly in the basic category, amounting to 20 people (50%). Additionally, the behavior of the elderly in the management of rheumatoid arthritis is mostly in the negative category, amounting to 27 people (67.5%).
