Risk of Osteoporosis and Degraded Trabecular Bone Score in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
The study highlights that advanced age, low body weight, and sarcopenia are key factors associated with osteoporosis in RA patients. Similarly, older age and RA-associated structural damage, are associated with degraded TBS. The combination of BMD and TBS is recommended for bone health assessment in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
