The association of age, sex and the number of sides of carpal tunnel syndrome were studied in 250 patients. The mean age of the patients with bilateral involvement was more than unilateral involvement (t = 2.48, p < 0.05). A statistically significant association was found between age and the number of sides of carpal tunnel syndrome (chi-square = 16.707, p < 0.05). There was also statistical significance in association of sex and the number of sides of carpal tunnel syndrome (chi-square = 10.2398, p < 0.01). The association of age, sex and the number of sides of carpal tunnel syndrome found in the study may help the prediction of diagnosis and natural history of the disease.
对250例腕管综合征患者的年龄、性别与患侧数量之间的关联进行了研究。双侧受累患者的平均年龄高于单侧受累患者（t = 2.48，p < 0.05）。年龄与腕管综合征的患侧数量之间存在统计学显著关联（卡方 = 16.707，p < 0.05）。性别与腕管综合征的患侧数量之间的关联也具有统计学意义（卡方 = 10.2398，p < 0.01）。该研究中发现的年龄、性别与腕管综合征患侧数量之间的关联可能有助于预测该疾病的诊断和自然病程。
