Muscle health in ankylosing spondylitis: effects of disease duration, inflammation, education level, and spinal mobility on skeletal muscle atrophy
Our study indicates that AS patients may have a diminished muscle status. Although the incidence of sarcopenia among AS patients is relatively low, a notable subset does suffer from muscle atrophy. Variables such as disease duration, education level, inflammatory markers, and BASMI are likely to influence muscle status in AS patients, warranting consideration in clinical management and intervention strategies.
