“…Moreover, in previous studies, the mortality rate was higher in the sarcopenia group than in the non‐sarcopenia group (Malmstrom et al, 2016; Xia et al, 2020). Along with aging, RA disease activity is correlated with sarcopenia (Arai, 2021). In a study of sarcopenia in RA, more skeletal muscle loss and abnormal fat accumulation were observed in Estonian patients with early RA than in the control group without RA (Müller et al, 2019).…”

AimThis study aimed to examine a hypothetical model of physical activity (PA) and health outcomes related to sarcopenia in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on self‐determination theory.DesignCross‐sectional study.MethodsThis study included 214 women diagnosed with RA from the outpatient rheumatology department of a university‐affiliated hospital in South Korea. Data were collected from September 2019 to August 2020 through structured questionnaires and anthropometric measurements and analysed using path analysis to test the hypothesized model. The primary health outcomes were perceived health status and sarcopenia‐related health (thigh circumference, handgrip strength and sarcopenia risk).ResultsThe final model's fit indices were adequate. Physical activity was directly affected by motivation for PA, while depression, self‐efficacy for PA, health care provider's autonomy support and basic psychological needs satisfaction indirectly affected PA. Physical activity directly affected perceived health status and thigh circumference, while perceived sarcopenia risk and handgrip strength were directly affected by disease activity and age.Patient or Public ContributionPatients were involved in a questionnaire‐based survey.

“…Therefore, patients with RA are at a higher risk of developing sarcopenia owing to chronic inflammation, decreased physical activity (PA), and the use of glucocorticoids (Arai, 2021, p. 179). The prevalence of sarcopenia ranges from 10% to 27% in individuals aged ≥60 years (Petermann‐Rocha et al, 2022).…”
