The Association of Fat Mass and Skeletal Muscle Mass with Clinical and Structural Knee Osteoarthritis: The Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity Study
Background/Purpose: Body mass index (BMI) is an important risk factor for knee osteoarthritis (OA), but BMI depends only upon height and weight and gives no…Abstract Number: 2395 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Body Composition, Strength, and Function in Elderly Patients with Giant Cell Arteritis
Background/Purpose : Loss of muscle and strength typically occur with advanced age. Chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, have reported similar deficits. Giant cell…Abstract Number: 1981 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Low Body Mass Index, Medication Use and Social Factors Such As Smoking but Not Secondary Medical Disorders or Older Age May Be More Prevalent in Males with Low Bone Mineral Density
Background/Purpose: Osteoporosis (OP) in Males is prevalent and frequently under-recognized. There are a number of known demographic factors such as age, race and BMI as…Abstract Number: 1994 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Influence of Percentage Body Fat On Bone Mineral Density in Thin Patients
Background/Purpose: Low Body Mass Index (BMI) is associated with low Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and subsequent risk of fragility fracture. Percentage body fat (%BF), which…Abstract Number: 1385 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Increased Body Mass Index in Ankylosing Spondylitis Is Associated with a Greater Burden of Symptoms and Poor Perceptions of the Benefits of Exercise
Background/Purpose: In Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) the effect of obesity on disease characteristics and exercise perceptions is unknown. Exercise is an essential component in the management…Abstract Number: 1330 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
High Body Mass Index Is Associated with Decreased Response to Initial Combination Therapy in Recent Onset RA Patients
High BMI is associated with decreased response to initial combination therapy in recent onset RA patients Background/Purpose: A diminished response to combination treatment with a fixed…Abstract Number: 1221 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Low Muscle Density in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Modified Association with Total Fat Mass, Results of a Pilot Study
Background/Purpose: Fatty infiltration of muscle (myosteatosis) results in a decrease in muscle density. Prior studies documented that skeletal muscle attenuation determined by CT was associated…Abstract Number: 1231 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Rheumatoid Arthritis Is Associated with Likelihood of Being Overweight in Women
Background/Purpose: Adipose tissue is metabolically active producing adipokines, which, along with locally attracted cytokines, are active participants in inflammation and its regulation. Since RA a…Abstract Number: 1097 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Association of Fat Distribution and Clinically Defined Hand Osteoarthritis: The Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity Study
Background/Purpose: Obesity, assessed as body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2, is an important risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA). BMI depends only upon height and…Abstract Number: 962 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Pain, Sleep Disturbance, and Depression Mediate the Association Between Body Mass Index and Fatigue in Fibromyalgia
Background/Purpose: Previous research and clinical observation suggest that patients with chronic disease who are obese report significant fatigue. Our objective was to explore similar relationships in…Abstract Number: 949 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Inverse Association Between Obesity and Anti-Nuclear Antibodies Is Modified by Systemic Inflammation and Maybe Associated with Body Composition
Background/Purpose: Obesity and abdominal adiposity have been frequently associated with inflammation. However, an association of obesity with a decreased likelihood of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANAs) was…Abstract Number: 905 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Association Between Lower Body Mass Index and Increased Risk of Giant Cell Arteritis Is Not Explained by Differences in Physical Activity
Background/Purpose: There is limited data on predictors of giant cell arteritis (GCA). Low body mass index (BMI), a history of smoking and several hormonal factors…Abstract Number: 800 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
BMI, Occupational Activity, and Leisure-Time Physical Activity: an Exploration of Risk Factors and Modifiers for Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Risk of knee osteoarthritis (OA) is increased by obesity, and also by physical activities which mechanically stress the joint. The few studies which have…Abstract Number: 398 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Basal Metabolic Rate As an Indicator of Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Activity and Predictor of Remission
Background/Purpose: The role of body mass index (BMI) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity and response to treatment has been difficult to determine.1 As a…Abstract Number: 2651 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Associations Between Body Mass Index and Physical Activity Following Total Knee Replacement
Background/Purpose: In 2009 over 620,000 total knee replacement (TKR) surgeries were performed. That number is expected to increase to 3.5 million annually by 2030. On…
