It is stated that anticholinergic load also increases the risk of fracture in individuals. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of drugs used by patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) on anticholinergic load and fracture risk. The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) will be used to assess fracture risk in patients. Materials and methods: The study was planned as a prospective cohort study. The study will included 100 patients who were followed up as outpatients with rheumatoid
