Material and Methods: Thirty female patients with RA and 30 female controls without RA were enrolled in this study. Sarcopenia status in patients with RA was evaluated by assessing body composition using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were measured, and body mass index (BMI) and Disease Activity Score (DAS28) were calculated. Because sarcopenia differs between men and women, the study groups comprised only females. Results: It was found that skeletal muscle index (SMI) was lower in patients with RA (5.83 +/- 0.807) than in controls (7.30 +/- 1.640). Sarcopenia (in females with an SMI of |
