Abstract
Objectives: To compare elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA) patients with younger-onset rheumatoid arthritis (YORA) patients in terms of sociodemographic, clinical and radiological features, and treatment responses. Materials and Methods: 422 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients were evaluated retrospectively. Patients with the age of onset of disease symptoms ≥60 were considered EORA, and those 0.05). Conclusion: There is no difference in many clinical and laboratory findings, especially disease activity scores and radiographic scores, in patients with EORA and YORA.
