Özet

Objective. Patients with enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA) were less likely to achieve and sustain inactive disease than children with other subtypes of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of increased body mass index (BMI) on clinical features of the disease and to investigate whether being overweight or obese limits the possibility of achieving clinically inactive disease in patients with ERA.
