Abstract

Background: OSTEOPOROSIS (OP) is a common complication of inflammatory arthritis such as RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS (RA). In this study we evaluated OSTEOPOROSIS and its related factors in RA patients.Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out from 2010 to 2011 on 121 women with RA aged 45-75 years. These patients were selected and divided in two groups according to their bone mineral densitometry (BMD) status, osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic. The data about OP and potential related factors were recorded. T-test for quantitative and X2 for qualitative variables were used for group comparison.Results: The mean age of the patients was 55.7±10.1 and the duration of the disease was 10.1±9.2 years. Thirty nine (32.3%) of patients had T score£-2.5 [28 (23.1%) in the lumbar spine and 20 (16.5%) in the femoral neck of regions]. The age and body mass index (BMI) were the most significant factors related to OP (p=0.00, p=0.01). Surgery induced menopause was conversely related to OP in neck of femur (p=0.04). OP in femur was related to overall fracture in patients (p=0.02) and also with seropositivity for RF (p=0.04) and body mass index (p=0.01).Conclusion: The prevalence of OP in our patients was higher than expected. Old age, menopause, low BMI and seropositivity were the main RISK FACTORS of OSTEOPOROSIS.
