About the Webinar

Osteoporosis is a common and serious comorbidity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), increasing the risk of fractures and disability. Chronic inflammation, glucocorticoid therapy, and reduced mobility accelerate bone loss in RA. Early diagnosis through bone mineral density (BMD) assessment using DEXA scans is essential for risk stratification. Management includes optimal control of RA inflammation, adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D, and use of anti-resorptive or anabolic agents such as bisphosphonates or denosumab. Weight-bearing exercise, smoking cessation, and minimizing steroid exposure further reduce fracture risk. A multidisciplinary, patient-centered approach ensures effective prevention and management of osteoporosis in RA.
