Radial BMD and serum CTX-I can predict the progression of carotid plaque in rheumatoid arthritis: a 3-year prospective cohort study.
Seungwoo HanNa-Ri KimJong-Wan KangJung-Su EunYoung Mo KangPublished in: Arthritis research & therapy (2021)
High serum CTX-I and lower radius BMD, reflecting high bone turnover, were independent risk factors for the progression of carotid plaque in RA patients, implicating the direct or indirect role of bone metabolism on the atherosclerotic burden.
