Predefined inclusion criteria were adult patients with axial SpA, exposure classified according to body mass index (BMI), BASDAI\/ASDAS reported for each BMI group, and observational studies. The Newcastle\u2010Ottawa Scale for cohort, cross\u2010sectional, and case\u2013control studies was used for quality check.
