The prevalence of gallstone disease was studied by ultrasound screening of a hospital population of 424 men and 631 women in Maastricht, admitted for elective surgery unrelated to gallstone disease. In the youngest age group (20-30 yr) no gallstone disease was observed. The prevalence increased with age. In the oldest age category (70-80 yr) 16% of the men and 40% of the women were found to have gallstone disease. The proportion of men with gallstone disease who had undergone cholecystectomy was 39%. In women this was 50%. Data acquired by a list of questions of a sample out of the general population indicated that the prevalence in the general population may be somewhat lower.
通过超声筛查对马斯特里赫特一家医院的424名男性和631名女性进行了胆结石疾病患病率的研究，这些人因与胆结石疾病无关的择期手术而入院。在最年轻的年龄组（20 - 30岁）中未观察到胆结石疾病。患病率随年龄增长而增加。在最年长的年龄组（70 - 80岁）中，发现16%的男性和40%的女性患有胆结石疾病。接受过胆囊切除术的胆结石疾病男性比例为39%。女性为50%。通过对普通人群样本的一系列问题收集的数据表明，普通人群中的患病率可能略低。
