Second Osteoporotic Fractures Are Common After Index Fractures
With the rate of a second fracture in high-risk patients still unknown, researchers evaluated the recurrence of fx in certain vulnerable subgroups.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Risk for Rheumatoid Arthritis Reduced for Patients With T2DM
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus have a reduced risk for rheumatoid arthritis, which may be due to statin use.
Severe T2D With Insulin Resistance May Complicate Rheumatoid Arthritis Cases
Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis patients can experience poorly controlled severe type 2 diabetes, say French researchers who suggest considering targeting insulin resistance through treatment for joint and systemic inflammation.
Diabetes Associated With Elevated Risk for Arthritis, Osteoporosis
Osteoarthritis was the most common form of arthritis in patients with diabetes but rheumatoid arthritis had the most pronounced association with diabetes.
Severe Obesity Linked to Rapid Progression of Disability in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Severe obesity is associated with more rapid progression of disability in rheumatoid arthritis.
Late-Life Mobility Limitations Linked to Obesity After Arthroplasty for OA in Women
Baseline obesity is associated with an increased risk for late-life mobility limitations in women undergoing joint replacement for OA.
Severe Obesity Tied to Faster Progression to Disability With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Severely obese rheumatoid arthritis patients also had worse disability at baseline than overweight patients.
Rheumatoid Arthritis Not as Likely to Increase CVD Risk as Diabetes
Using both public and private health insurance claims data, investigators conducted a retrospective cohort study to assess cardiovascular risk in the setting of diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.
Abatacept May Improve Femoral Neck Bone Mineral Density in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Abatacept was superior at increasing bone mineral density in the femoral neck compared with other biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, and may offer good efficacy for improving BMD in rheumatoid arthritis.
Reducing CV Risk in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis and Diabetes
Abatacept conferred a greater reduction in cardiovascular risk compared with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes.
