| Popis: | Objectives: This study aims to investigate the prevalence of obesity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and associations with disease outcomes. Patients and methods: The study population comprised of 1,038 patients with RA (198 males, 840 females; mean age 56.1±12.6 years; range 19 to 94 years) who had been included in National RA-Registry. RA disease activity measures, physical function, quality of life, joint destruction, laboratory tests, as well as pain, fatigue, general health, and patient and physician global health assessments on a visual analog scale were collected. Results: Our patients had established RA with mean disease duration of 10.2±8.8 years and moderate disease activity (disease activity score in 28 joints: mean 3.7±1.6). According to the body mass index (BMI), 70% of the patients were overweight (n=362, 34.9%) or obese (n=364, 35.1%). These patients had higher disease activity scores in 28 joints, visual analog scale-pain and visual analog scale-patient global scores, and higher levels of fasting blood glucose; however, they had lower radiographic scores than normal-BMI patients (p |
