    A nomogram was developed to predict osteoporosis risk in rheumatoid arthritis patients using clinical and laboratory data.

  • 2

    Independent predictors included female sex, HAQ-DI, ALP levels, ApoA1/ApoB ratio, FFA levels, and BMI.

  • 3

    The nomogram demonstrated good discrimination with AUROCs of 0.812 in training and 0.788 in validation cohorts.

  • 4

    Risk stratification using the nomogram effectively categorized patients into low, medium, and high osteoporosis risk groups.

  • 5

    Prospective multicenter validation is necessary to confirm the nomogram's performance across diverse populations.
