Материал и методы. В одномоментное исследование включено 96 пациентов мужского пола с РА, медиана возраста — 59 [54; 64,75] лет. Группу контроля составили 30 практически здоровых мужчин, сопоставимых по возрасту. Оценка андрогенного статуса включала определение уровня глобулина, связывающего половые гормоны (ГСПГ), и общего тестостерона с последующим вычислением концентрации свободного тестостерона. Исследование композиционного состава тела и МПКТ проведено методом двухэнергетической рентгеновской абсорбциометрии (DXA) на аппарате Stratos dR (DMS, Франция) с использованием дополнительной программы «Все тело». В зависимости от сочетания показателей МПКТ, содержания тощей и жировой масс определялись фенотипы состава тела. Исследование одобрено Этическим комитетом ФГАОУ ВО РНИМУ им. Н.И. Пирогова Минздрава России. Все пациенты подписали информированное согласие.</p><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. МПКТ поясничного отдела позвоночника, шейки бедра и бедра в целом у больных РА была статистически значимо меньше, чем в контроле (р&lt;0,05). У 69 (71,9%) пациентов с РА выявлен остеопенический синдром, представленный в 60,4% случаев остеопенией и в 11,5% случаев — остеопорозом (ОП). Наблюдалась отрицательная корреляционная связь МПКТ поясничного отдела позвоночника и шейки бедренной кости с уровнем ГСПГ, положительная — МПКТ с уровнем свободного тестостерона. Тощая масса при РА была статистически значимо меньше, чем в контроле. Низкая тощая масса обнаружена у 48,9% пациентов основной группы и не выявлена в контроле. Аппендикулярная тощая масса (АТМ) коррелировала с уровнем общего и свободного тестостерона. Содержание жировой ткани (%) по данным DXA у 63,3% больных соответствовало ожирению. Показатели состояния жировой ткани имели отрицательные корреляционные связи с ГСПГ, уровнем общего и свободного тестостерона. МПКТ различных отделов скелета положительно коррелировала с тощей массой туловища, а МПКТ шейки бедра и бедра в целом — с индексом массы тела (ИМТ). У 93,2% больных РА выявлено изменение композиционного состава тела. Наиболее частыми фенотипами являлись остеосаркопеническое ожирение (25%), остеопеническое ожирение (21,6%) и остеопеническая саркопения (14,8%).</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Течение РА у мужчин в 71,9% случаев ассоциируется с развитием остеопенического синдрома и уменьшением АТМ в 48,9% случаев до диагностических значений саркопении, что необходимо учитывать в разработке гендерного подхода к ведению и реабилитации больных РА.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim. To evaluate alterations in body composition and bone mineral density (BMD) in male patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) taking into account their androgen status. </p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. The single-stage study included 96 male RA patients. The mean age of patients was 59 [54; 64.75] years. The control group included 30 healthy men of comparable age. The androgen status assessment was based on sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), total and free testosterone levels determination. Body composition and BMD measurements were performed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) on the Stratos dR device (DMS, France) with the program “Whole Body”. Depending on the combination of BMD, lean- and fat-mass parameters, phenotypes of body composition were determined. The study was approved by Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University Local Ethics Committee. All patients signed informed consent.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Generally, lumbar spine, femoral neck and total hip BMD in RA patients was significantly less than in the control group (p&lt;0.05). In 69 (71.9%) patients with RA osteopenic syndrome was detected. It was represented by osteopenia and osteoporosis (OP) in 60.4% and 11.5% of cases respectively. The spine and femoral neck BMD correlated negatively with SHBG level, and positive correlation was detected between BMD and free testosterone level. The RA patients had significantly less lean mass than the control group. Low lean mass was found in 48.9% of patients in the main group and was not detected in the control group. Appendicular lean mass (ALM) correlated positively with total and free testosterone levels. According to DXA data, the adipose tissue content (%) corresponded to obesity in 63.3% of patients. Adipose tissue indicators correlated negatively with SHBG, total and free testosterone levels. The BMD of various skeleton parts correlated positively with trunk lean mass, and the femoral neck and total hip BMD had positive relationships with body mass index (BMI). Body composition alterations were revealed in 93.2% of RA patients. The most common phenotypes were osteosarcopenic obesity (25%), osteopenic obesity (21.6%) and osteopenic sarcopenia (14.8%). </p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Our study shows that RA course in men is associated with the development of osteopenic syndrome in 71.9% of cases and ALM decrease to diagnostic values of sarcopenia in 48.9% of cases. This fact should be considered in the development of a gender approach to RA patients management and rehabilitation.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>ревматоидный артрит</kwd><kwd>андрогенный статус</kwd><kwd>двухэнергетическая рентгеновская абсорбциометрия</kwd><kwd>минеральная плотность костной ткани</kwd><kwd>композиционный состав тела</kwd><kwd>тощая масса</kwd><kwd>жировая масса</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>rheumatoid arthritis</kwd><kwd>androgenic status</kwd><kwd>dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)</kwd><kwd>bone mineral density (BMD)</kwd><kwd>body composition</kwd><kwd>lean mass</kwd><kwd>fat mass</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Работа выполнена в рамках научной темы «Ревматоидный артрит у мужчин: комплексная клинико-лабораторная и инструментальная оценка состояния костной ткани с учетом андрогенного статуса», утвержденной Ученым советом ФГАОУ ВО РНИМУ им.
