Bone Density Change in Postmenopausal Rheumatoid Arthritis

Completed
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
Rheumatoid arthritis is associated with systemic inflammation-mediated bone loss, leading to an increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures, particularly in postmenopausal patients. Although disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs may help mitigate bone loss, comparative longitudinal data on different treatment strategies remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate changes in bone mineral density over time and assess the impact of conventional synthetic and biologic DMARDs, together with anti-osteoporotic therapy, on bone health.
