Aim of the study was to clarify the body composition in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis before starting therapy with synthetic basic anti-inflammatory drugs, genetically engineered biological drugs and glucocorticoids using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and to assess the effect of inflammation and metabolic syndrome on body composition.Material and methods. The study included 37 patients (31 women and 6 men) with early rheumatoid arthritis. The control group consisted of 19 healthy donors without rheumatic diseases. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis and the control group were measured by waist size, height and weight, and body mass index was calculated. Body composition was determined by means of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry using the “Whole Body” program on the HOLOGIC device (USA). The presence of metabolic syndrome was assessed according to the criteria of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF).Results. Patients with early rheumatoid arthritis had less lean tissue mass, which was negatively correlated with inflammatory markers (ESR and C-reactive protein levels). Overweight and obesity were diagnosed in 24% and 27% of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis, respectively. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis and metabolic syndrome had a higher body weight, body mass index, waist size, and adipose tissue mass than patients without metabolic syndrome. With the help of instrumental methods, it is shown that in rheumatoid arthritis there is a redistribution of fat mass in the body, its predominant accumulation in the trunk area and a parallel decrease in the volume of muscle tissue.Conclusion. Rheumatoid inflammation and metabolic syndrome affect body composition of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis before the start of antirheumatic therapy.

Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex inflammatory disease that modifies body composition. Using the dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in RA patients could be a method for body composition changes detection.Objectives:To study the body composition using DXA in patients with RA.Methods:The study involved 79 women with RA, median age 60 [55; 65] years. The bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry using «Discovery A» (Hologic, USA). Assessment of body composition was carried out, using the program «Whole body». Sarcopenia (SP) was diagnosed as a decrease in appendicular mass index (AMI) <6.0 kg/m2. Osteoporosis (OP) was diagnosed as a decrease in T-score <-2.5 SD. Osteosarcopenia was determined when T-score was <-1.0 SD, AMI was <6.0 kg/m2, osteosarcopenic obesity - T-score was <-1.0 SD, AMI was <6.0 kg/m2and total fat was >35%.Results:The mean duration of RA was 9 [3; 11] years. The mean body mass index (BMI) was 27.6±4.8 kg/m2. Disease activity score in 28 joints-erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 4.5±1.3 points for the group. 39 (49.3%) patients used oral glucocorticoids continuously. Appendicular muscle mass and AMI were on average 17.8±3.0 kg and 6.8±1.0 kg/m2, respectively. AMI <6 kg/m2was detected in 20 (25.3%) patients. 56 (70.9%) women with RA had total fat > 35%, while only 22 (27.8%) of women with RA had obesity according to BMI (BMI >30 kg/m2). Isolated OP was found in 13 (16.5%), osteosarcopenia in 7 (8.9%) and osteosarcopenic obesity in 13 (16.5%) patients RA. No cases with isolated sarcopenia or sarcopenic obesity were detected. Only 3 (3.8%) patients did not have appendicular muscle mass, AMI and BMD decrease and overfat or obesity.Conclusion:About 97% women with RA had abnormal body composition phenotype: 16,5% - OP, 8.9% -osteosarcopenia, 16,5% - osteosarcopenic obesity and 54,4% - overfat.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Body composition assessment is an important tool in both clinical and research settings able to characterize the nutritional status of individuals in various physiologic and pathologic conditions. Health care professionals can use the information acquired by body composition analysis for the prevention and treatment of diseases, ultimately improving health status. Here we describe commonly used techniques to assess body composition in healthy individuals, including dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, bioelectrical impedance analysis, air displacement plethysmography, and ultrasonography. Understanding the key underlying concept(s) of each assessment method, as well as its advantages and limitations, facilitates selection of the method of choice and the method of the compartment of interest. This review contains 5 figures, 3 tables and 52 references Key words: air displacement plethysmography, bioelectrical impedance analysis, body composition, disease, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, health, muscle mass, nutritional status, obesity, sarcopenia, ultrasound fat mass
