RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic chronic autoimmune disease in adults that is associated with significant joint issues and systemic inflammation. One of the signs of bone damage in RA is osteoporosis (OP). Leptin is an inflammatory protein that has been reported to be related to RA. The potential relationships among leptin, disease activity, and OP in Chinese patients with RA are not well known. METHODS: In total, 245 patients with RA and 120 healthy controls were included in this study. Detailed data on the clinical characteristics and laboratory features were collected. Information about physical activity and functional status was recorded using specific questionnaires. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The MECALL castor-50-hf model X-ray scanner was used for the two-hand (including wrist) photographs. RESULTS: Serum leptin levels differed significantly between the RA group and healthy control subjects (1.27/3.29 vs. 0.17/0.24, Z=13.29, P<0.001). The positive rate of leptin protein in RA patients was 86.35%, which was higher than that in controls (19.55%) (χ2=28.51, P<0.001). Pearson's correlation test showed that morning stiffness, disease duration, joint swelling, joint tenderness, swollen joint count (SJC), tender joint count (TJC), health assessment questionnaire (HAQ) score, and Sharp-van der Heijde method (Sharp) score were positively correlated with the level of serum leptin (r=0.212, r=0.312, r=0.322, r=0.501, r=0.291, r=0.334, P<0.05). There was a clear increasing trend in the level of serum leptin according to the different disease activity scores and in the 28 joint activity (DAS28) groups (F=13.936, P<0.001). Elevated leptin was a risk factor for increased disease activity and OP according to logistic regression analysis. The median leptin level differed significantly between the normal bone mass group, osteopenia group, and OP group (P<0.001). An increased serum leptin level was a risk factor for RA-induced osteoporosis according to logistic regression analysis (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the level of serum leptin is associated with disease activity and secondary OP among Chinese patients with RA. Key Points • Serum leptin levels in RA patients are higher than those in normal control group. • Leptin was associated with disease activity. • Leptin was associated with the occurrence of systemic osteoporosis and affects bone erosion in RA patients.
