Sex, age, disease duration, disease activity, mHAQ score, and glucocorticoid usage significantly differed between patients with and without fractures. Among 734 with 4-year pre-fracture data, mHAQ scores gradually increased over consecutive years before the fracture. When classified into four groups according to mHAQ changes over 2 consecutive years, patients with continuous increases had significantly higher fracture incidence (2.13%) than those with increases only in years 1\u20132 (1.43%), only in years 2\u20133 (1.59%), or with no increase across 2 consecutive years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
