SummaryThe study aims to evaluate the rate of transition to osteoporosis in 360 RA patients and estimate the rescreening intervals of bone mineral density (BMD) testing. Osteoporosis was newly developed in 24.8 % during mean follow-up of 7.4 years. The estimated time of a BMD testing interval was dependent on the baseline T-score in RA patients.
