Abstract

AIM

The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the eastern Black Sea region of Turkey.

METHOD

The study was carried out between March 2003 and March 2005 by the Karadeniz Technical University Medical Faculty Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in the urban area in the eastern Black Sea region of Turkey, which has a population of 459021 (according to the 2000 national census). A total of 6103 subjects, 20 years old or over, were selected by the sampling method; 3023 (49.5%) women and 3080 (50.5%) men were included in the study. The diagnosis of RA was performed based on fulfilling the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria.

RESULTS

Fifty-nine patients were diagnosed with RA according to the ACR criteria, of which 11 were male and 48 female. The prevalence of RA was 1% (95% CI: 0.75-1.25) in the general population, 1.6% (95% CI: 1.15-2.05) in women and 0.35% (95% CI: 0.14-0.56) in men. The female/male ratio was 4.3 : 1.0, showing that RA prevalence was statistically significantly higher in women (P <0.005).

CONCLUSION

Our study demonstrates that RA is a common disease in Turkish society.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在评估土耳其黑海东部地区类风湿关节炎（RA）的患病率。

方法

该研究于 2003 年 3 月至 2005 年 3 月在土耳其黑海东部城市地区的卡拉德尼兹技术大学医学系物理医学与康复科进行，该地区人口为 459021 人（根据 2000 年全国人口普查）。采用抽样法共选取 6103 名 20 岁及以上的受试者，其中包括 3023 名女性（49.5%）和 3080 名男性（50.5%）。RA 的诊断依据美国风湿病学会（ACR）标准进行。

结果

根据 ACR 标准，共有 59 例患者被诊断为 RA，其中男性 11 例，女性 48 例。普通人群中 RA 的患病率为 1%（95%CI：0.75-1.25），女性为 1.6%（95%CI：1.15-2.05），男性为 0.35%（95%CI：0.14-0.56）。女性/男性比例为 4.3:1.0，表明 RA 患病率在女性中显著更高（P<0.005）。
