В статье обсуждаются материалы работ по изучению падений как независимого фактора риска переломов у больных ревматоидным артритом (РА). Представлены данные о частоте, а также возможных факторах риска падений у этой категории больных. Распространенность падений в разных странах, по полученным данным, варьирует от 10 до 50%, что может быть связано с различиями в методах сбора информации, а связь изучавшихся факторов с риском падений у больных РА пока однозначно не доказана, и требуется проведение дальнейших исследований.

The paper discusses the materials of investigations dealing with falls as an independent risk factor for fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It gives data on the incidence and possible risk factors of falls in this category of patients. According to the data obtained, the prevalence of falls in different countries varies from 10 to 50%, which may be related to differences in the methods of collecting information, and the relationship of the investigated factors with the risk of falls in patients with RA is uniquely unproven and calls for further investigations.
