Bone mineral density in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: relation between disease severity and low bone mineral density.

OBJECTIVE To examine variables associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS We investigated 373 patients with low to moderately active RA.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of bone mineral density (BMD) and calcium deficiencies in adult patients with CD and assess whether a gluten-free diet is sufficiently effective for BMD restoration. MATERIAL AND METHODS BMD and biochemical parameters of bone an...
