| Abstract | Objective The objective of this study was to explore the associations of body mass index (BMI), fat mass index (FMI), skeletal mass index (SMI) and secondary osteoporosis (OP) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods The bone mineral density (BMD) at sites of the femur neck (Neck), total hip (Hip) and lumbar vertebrae 1–4 (L1-4) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The skeletal muscle index, body fat percentage and mineral content were measured by biological electrical impedance for calculating BMI, FMI and SMI. Results A total of 433 patient with RA and 158 healthy controls were enrolled. The BMDs at each site of the RA patients were lower compared with those of the healthy controls (p < 0.0001), and the prevalence of OP (36.1%, 160/443) and sarcopenia (65.2%, 288/443) in the RA patients were higher than those in the controls (12.7%, 20/158, p < 0.0001; 9.0%, 14/156, p < 0.0001). Significant differences in the BMD, FMI, SMI, mineral content, body fat percentage and skeletal muscle mass were found among the RA patients in the different BMI groups (p < 0.05). In RA patients with BMI < 18.5 kg/m2, the prevalence of OP in the RA patients with sarcopenia was similar to that in those without sarcopenia (44.4% vs. 66. 7%, χ2 = 0. 574, p = 0.449). In the RA patients with a normal BMI or who were overweight or obese, prevalence of OP in the RA patients with sarcopenia was significantly higher than that in the RA patients without sarcopenia (42.8% vs. 21.7%, χ2 = 10.951, p = 0.001; 61.1% vs. 13.0%, χ2 = 26.270, p < 0.0001). In the RA patients without sarcopenia, the prevalence of OP in the RA patients in the different BMI groups was different (p = 0.039). In the RA patients with sarcopenia, there was no significant difference in the prevalence of OP among the RA patients in the different BMI groups (p = 0. 128). The linear correlation analysis showed that the SMI in RA patients was positively correlated with the BMD of each site measured and BMI and FMI (p < 0.0001). However, there was a negative linear correlation between SMI and disease duration (p = 0.048). The logistic regression analysis found that SMI (OR = 0.569, p = 0.002, 95% CI 0.399–0.810), BMI (OR = 0.884, p = 0.01, 95% CI 0.805–0.971) and gender (1 = female, 2 = male) (OR = 0.097, p < 0.0001, 95% CI 0.040–0.236) were protective factors for OP in RA, while age (OR = 1.098, p < 0.0001, 95% CI 1.071–1.125) was the risk factor. Conclusion BMI and SMI are associated with the occurrence of OP in RA patients, and both SMI and BMI are important protective factors for OP secondary to RA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
