Background Muscle mass loss is common in long-standing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The
aim was to explore the prevalence and effects of RA disease characteristics in patients with …

Background The link between body mass index (BMI) and disease characteristics in
rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains controversial. Body composition (BC) has been more …

Background: Numerous cross-sectional studies have reported the associations between
rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and reduced skeletal muscle. We firstly explored the dynamic …

Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with low muscle density due to the
accumulation of intramuscular fat. The present study was undertaken to identify predictors of …

Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with adverse body composition profiles
and low muscle density due to the accumulation of intramuscular fat. Linear regression was …

Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is often associated with diminished muscle mass,
reflecting an imbalance between protein synthesis and protein breakdown. To investigate …

Background & aims To examine the relationship between changes in skeletal muscle mass
and lipid metabolism and glycometabolism in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) …

Objectives Increasing evidence suggests that inflammation has a detrimental effect on
muscle strength. Our objective was to analyse the association between muscle performance …

Objective To explore the associations between measures of body composition derived from
computed tomography (CT) of the thigh and functional outcomes in patients with rheumatoid …

Objective To explore the association of geriatric nutrition risk index (GNRI), a traditional
albumin-body weight calculation, with myopenia in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) …
