В одномоментном исследовании участвовали 124 женщины с достоверным РА (средний возраст – 60,3±10,0 лет). Проведены анкетирование по разработанному опроснику, лабораторное обследование, рентгеновская денситометрия поясничного отдела позвоночника (LI–IV) с определением ТКИ.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты и обсуждение</title><p>Результаты и обсуждение. Деградированная микроархитектоника костной ткани выявлена у 33,9%, частично деградированная – у 21,8%, нормальная – у 44,3% женщин с РА. В однофакторном регрессионном анализе возраст (p&lt;0,001), длительность постменопаузы (p=0,035), уровни мочевой кислоты (МК; p=0,023), щелочной фосфатазы (ЩФ; p=0,021), антител к циклическому цитруллинированному пептиду (АЦЦП; p=0,037) и фосфора (=0,23; p=0,011) коррелировали со значением ТКИ.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Нормальная микроархитектоника выявлена лишь у 44,3% женщин с РА. ТКИ негативно взаимосвязан с возрастом, длительностью постменопаузы, уровнем МК, ЩФ и АЦЦП и позитивно – с уровнем фосфора. Не наблюдалось корреляции между значением ТКИ и показателями воспалительной активности РА.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Objective</title><p>Objective: to investigate indicators of inflammatory activity and biochemical markers of bone metabolism as factors influencing bone microarchitecture, assessed by the trabecular bone index (TBI), in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. A cross-sectional study included 124 women with verified RA (mean age 60.3±10.0 years).

Degraded bone microarchitecture was found in 33.9%, partially degraded in 21.8%, and normal in 44.3% of women with RA. In univariate regression analysis, age (p&lt;0.001), duration of postmenopause (p=0.035), levels of uric acid (UA; p=0.023), alkaline phosphatase (ALP; p=0.021), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP; p=0.037), and phosphorus (=0.23; p=0.011) correlated with TBI values.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Normal bone microarchitecture was found in only 44.3% of women with RA. TBI was negatively associated with age, duration of postmenopause, levels of UA, ALP, and anti-CCP, and positively with phosphorus level.
