The prevalence of radiographic osteoarthritis in hand and knee joints was studied in representative subsamples of the 75 and 79 year old population of Göteborg, Sweden. A comparison between two cohorts of 79-year-olds, revealed no significant difference between them. A longitudinal study within one of these cohorts including those aged between 75 and 79 showed a modest but not statistically significant progression of osteoarthritis in hand and knee joints. The results suggest a reduced progression of osteoarthritis after 75 years of age.
在瑞典哥德堡75岁和79岁人群的代表性子样本中，研究了手部和膝关节的影像学骨关节炎患病率。对两组79岁人群的比较显示，他们之间没有显著差异。在其中一组队列中对75至79岁人群进行的纵向研究表明，手部和膝关节骨关节炎有一定程度的进展，但无统计学意义。结果表明，75岁以后骨关节炎的进展有所减缓。
