Résumé
Overweight and obesity are common in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), with a probable impact on bearing foot joints. Our study aimed to explore the impact of Body Mass Index (BMI) on foot health parameters in RA patients. It was a cross-sectional study. Domains of foot health explored were: foot pain (Numeric Rating Scale), foot-related activity limitations (Foot Function Index (FFI), and WOMAC scale), foot synovitis, foot deformity (Platto Score (PS)), radiological joint damage and footwear problems. Fifty RA were included, 82% were female. The mean age was 45.68 ± 10.3 years. The mean DAS28-CRP was 3.25 ± 0.98. Sixty-six percent were overweight or obese, with a mean BMI of 29 Kg/m Despite our findings of a possible protective effect of obesity on structural damage, obesity is still an important cause of increased pain, functional disability, and impaired QoL in RA patients.
