rheumatic diseases relapse, p value = 0.003 ≤ α =0.05, and the value of coefficient
contingence = 0.387 low category. There is an average relationship between dietary
adherence and rheumatic diseases relapse, p value = 0.000 ≤ α =0.05, and the value
of coefficient contingence = 0.449. Then, There is an average relationship between
