Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is a relatively benign disease common among many European populations, including those in the UK, Italy and Spain. However, it appears to be rare among Scandinavians and non-European immigrants living in Europe. The prevalence among Asian populations may be underestimated because a large number of reported cases were discovered incidentally. There is a need for surveys addressing the prevalence rate and consequences of PDB to be carried out in various parts of the world, particularly Asia.
骨佩吉特病(PDB)是一种相对良性的疾病,在包括英国、意大利和西班牙在内的许多欧洲人群中较为常见。然而,在斯堪的纳维亚人和居住在欧洲的非欧洲移民中似乎很少见。亚洲人群中的患病率可能被低估了,因为大量报告的病例是偶然发现的。有必要在世界各地区,特别是亚洲,开展关于PDB患病率和后果的调查。
