X-ray examinations of the lumbar spine from a two-year period in 268 Greenlanders and an equivalent number of danes were reviewed in order to diagnose all radiological lesions. Twenty-five percent of the X-ray examinations of the Greenlanders and 28% of the Danes showed normal conditions. Eighteen percent of the Greenlanders and 3% of the Danes had evident sacroliitis. Four Greenlanders and one Dane had radiological ankylosing spondylitis. The high frequency of sacroiliitis can probably be explained by the genetic structure of the population and the pattern of infections. Spondylolisthesis was found in 24% of the Greenlanders, confirming previous findings. Degenerative lesions, fractures, developmental anomalies and Scheuermann's disease were equally frequent in the two populations, while scolioses were less frequent among the Greenlanders than among the Danes.
回顾了268名格陵兰人和同等数量丹麦人在两年期间的腰椎X光检查，以诊断所有放射学病变。格陵兰人25%的X光检查和丹麦人28%的X光检查显示为正常情况。18%的格陵兰人和3%的丹麦人有明显的骶髂关节炎。4名格陵兰人和1名丹麦人有放射学强直性脊柱炎。骶髂关节炎的高发病率可能可以通过人群的基因结构和感染模式来解释。24%的格陵兰人发现有腰椎滑脱，证实了先前的研究结果。两个群体中退行性病变、骨折、发育异常和休门氏病的发病率相同，而格陵兰人脊柱侧弯的发病率低于丹麦人。
