Bone mineral density was measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the lumbar spine, both hips and distal radius in 10 postmenopausal patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). DXA values at the lumbar spine and distal radius were compatible with osteoporosis in all but 1 patient. Only 4 patients had osteoporosis of the hip, and 3 of these were over 65. Preliminary results over this small population suggest that in RA a correlation may be expected between DXA values in lumbar spine and distal radius, but not between either of these and the hip.
采用双能X线吸收法（DXA）对10例绝经后类风湿关节炎（RA）患者的腰椎、双髋及桡骨远端进行骨密度测量。除1例患者外，其余患者的腰椎和桡骨远端DXA值均符合骨质疏松诊断标准。仅有4例患者存在髋部骨质疏松，其中3例年龄超过65岁。对这一小部分人群的初步研究结果表明，在类风湿关节炎患者中，腰椎和桡骨远端的DXA值之间可能存在相关性，但这两者与髋部DXA值之间不存在相关性。
