Studying the epidemiology of fibromyalgia (FM) is very important to understand the impact of this disorder on persons, families and society. The recent modified 2010 classification criteria of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), without the need of tender points palpation, allows that larger and nationwide surveys may be done, worldwide. This article reviews the prevalence and incidence studies done in the general population, in several countries/continents, the prevalence of FM in special groups/settings, the association of FM with some sociodemographic characteristics of the population, and the comorbidity of FM with others disorders, especially with headaches.
研究纤维肌痛（FM）的流行病学对于了解这种疾病对个人、家庭和社会的影响非常重要。最近美国风湿病学会（ACR）修订的 2010 年分类标准，无需触诊压痛点，允许在全球范围内进行更大规模的全国性调查。本文综述了在多个国家/地区的一般人群中进行的流行率和发病率研究，特殊人群/环境中 FM 的流行率，FM 与人口某些社会人口特征的相关性，以及 FM 与其他疾病的共病性，特别是与头痛的共病性。
