Metabolic Syndrome and Rheumatoid Arthritis Activity: An Analysis of Clinical, Laboratory, and Ultrasound Parameters

Krzysztof Grzechnik,
Bożena Targońska-Stępniak

Abstract: (1) Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease associated with an increased incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). The aim of this study was to determine if there is an association between MetS and parameters of RA activity, as well as between metabolic parameters and indices of RA activity. (2) Methods: This study involved 65 patients with RA. MetS was diagnosed according to the 2009 IDF/AHA/NHLBI criteria. The comparative analysis was conducted between RA patients with MetS (RA (M… Show more

“…Vitamin D has a protective role against periodontal diseases through bone preservation and anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity [31]. Other effects that vitamin D has on bones can help improve TMJ joint pain and bone repair caused by osteonecrosis, but more research is needed [45,46].…”

“…Many autoimmune disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, and rheumatoid arthritis have been connected with chronic urticaria (23). In this regard, H. pylori infection and/or MetS are linked to such disorders as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis (24)(25)(26)(27). MCs also contribute to the pathophysiology of these autoimmune disorders (26,28).…”
