Our aim was to establish the prevalence of Raynaud's phenomenon in a general practice in the east of Spain and compare our results with those of other studies performed in geographical areas with similar climatic characteristics. Two hundred and seventy-six subjects visiting their general practitioner for whatever reason were randomly selected from a particular area of the city of Valencia. Each was interviewed by their GP following the guidelines of a structured questionnaire to establish whether they had Raynaud's phenomenon or not. There were 205 women and 71 men. The mean age was 54.43, with a standard deviation of 18.22. Raynaud's phenomenon was present in nine subjects, two men and seven women, with a prevalence of 2.8% and 3.4%, respectively. Of the nine positives (mean age 60.56 years, standard deviation 16.38), two were diagnosed with hypertension and two with migraine. None of them usually took Raynaud's phenomenon-related drugs or performed physical exercise. No patient had a family history of Raynaud's phenomenon or had already been diagnosed with it. All the positive males were affected only by the pallor stage. This study shows lower prevalences than those of other studies performed in different geographical areas with similar climatic conditions.
我们的目的是确定西班牙东部一家普通诊所中雷诺现象的患病率，并将我们的结果与在气候特征相似的地理区域进行的其他研究结果进行比较。从瓦伦西亚市的一个特定区域中随机挑选了276名因任何原因前往看全科医生的受试者。每位受试者都由其全科医生按照结构化问卷的指导方针进行访谈，以确定他们是否患有雷诺现象。其中有205名女性和71名男性。平均年龄为54.43岁，标准差为18.22。有9名受试者出现雷诺现象，其中2名男性和7名女性，患病率分别为2.8%和3.4%。在这9名阳性受试者中（平均年龄60.56岁，标准差16.38），2人被诊断患有高血压，2人患有偏头痛。他们中没有人通常服用与雷诺现象相关的药物或进行体育锻炼。没有患者有雷诺现象的家族病史或已被诊断患有该疾病。所有阳性男性仅处于苍白阶段。这项研究显示的患病率低于在气候条件相似的不同地理区域进行的其他研究。
