Abstract
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is associated with decreased bone mineral density (BMD)
and increased fracture risk. The association between BMD and fracture risk in PsA is not well
elucidated. We aimed to assess BMD in an PsA cohort of patients with active disease and patients in
remission, and to assess the predictive value of BMD on incidence of fractures.
