Osteoporosis (OP) is one of the most commonly known extra-articular complications of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Since the prevalence of OP is diverse in different studies and there is no general consensus about it, in this systematic review, we aimed to investigate the global prevalence of OP among RA patients. In this review, three databases including Medline via PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (Clarivate analytics) were searched by various keywords. After screening of retrieved papers, the related data of included papers were extracted and analyzed. To assess the risk of methodological bias of included studies, quality assessment checklist for prevalence studies was used. Because of heterogeneity among studies, random-effect model was used to pooled the results of primary studies. In this review, the results of 57 studies were summarized and the total included sample size was 227,812 cases of RA with 64,290 cases of OP. The summary point prevalence of OP among RA was estimated as 27.6% (95%CI 23.9-31.3%). Despite significant advances in prevention, treatment and diagnostic methods in these patients, it still seems that the prevalence of OP in these patients is high and requires better and more timely interventions.
