TL;DR

Sarcopenia risk, as measured by SARC-F, is significantly associated with increased FRAX-estimated fracture risk in RA patients, and incorporation of SARC-F into routine assessments may improve early identification of patients at high fracture risk.

Malnutrition and sarcopenia in rheumatoid arthritis: prevalence, risk factors, and the limitations of body mass index: a cross-sectional study.

BACKGROUND & AIMS Malnutrition and sarcopenia are increasingly recognized as important but frequently underdiagnosed comorbidities in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, data based on contemporary diagnostic criteria and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-derived body composition remain limited. This...

Sarcopenia risk in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis: a SARC-F-based assessment

SARC-F-defined sarcopenia risk was not increased in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis aged ≤70 years compared to nonosteoporotic controls, and lower educational status, PPI use, and low physical activity levels were associated with an increased SARC-F-defined sarcopenia risk.

Beyond bone mineral density: associations of muscle quantity, muscle quality, and physical performance with FRAX-derived fracture risk in postmenopausal women

FRAX-derived fracture probability in postmenopausal women is associated not only with bone-related parameters but also with muscle structure, muscle quality, and physical performance, which highlights the potential relevance of muscle-related parameters within the broader musculoskeletal profile reflected by FRAX.

Association of Mediterranean Diet Adherence with Self-Reported Muscle-Related Functional Status and Fracture Probability in Postmenopausal Women Evaluated for Osteoporosis: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Osteoporosis and sarcopenia frequently coexist in older adults and jointly contribute to increased risk of falls and fragility fractures. While adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) has been broadly associated with favorable health outcomes, its potential role in modulating muscle-related functional stat...

Sarcopenia-Related Factors and the Diagnostic Role of Ultrasonography in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Sarcopenia in RA patients is significantly associated with disease duration, falls, functional status, physical performance, anthropometric measures, muscle mass assessed by ultrasound, and QoL, and ultrasonography may be a useful screening tool for sarcopenia.
