Popis: This study aimed to longitudinally evaluate the association between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and locomotive syndrome (LS) in RA patients using the 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale (GLFS-25).Subjects were 58 RA patients (female, 48 (82.8%); mean age, 60.9 ± 10.9 years) who had GLFS-25 scores available for five consecutive years and who did not have LS at baseline (i.e. GLFS-25 16 points). Associations between DAS28-CRP and the development of LS were determined using linear regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.Subjects were divided into the LS group (Tight control of RA disease activity for deeper remission may be needed to prevent the development of LS.
