Summary

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (AJI), is a frequent inflammatory disease in children, characterized by pain, arthritis, and deformities. Chronic inflammation leads to physical inactivity and can be associated with muscle weakness around affected joints, low bone strength, and mass(3). To our knowledge, no study has focused on the prevalence of sarcopenia in JIA and the data on the muscle disorder are lacking. The purpose of the present study is to detect sarcopenia and identify associated factors in children with JIA
