Three separate investigations are reported, covering a total of 795 patients from different parts of Finland, two of them consisting of inmates of old people's homes in two towns (N = 205 and 262) and one a randomly selected population from a rural commune (N = 328). They show the mean prevalence of exfoliation syndrome (PS) to be 14.2% in age group 60 less than or equal to 69 years, 21.9% in age group 70-79 and 34.7% in age group greater than or equal to 80. The prevalence increases statistically significantly with age. The mean prevalence of PS in all three groups was 22.4%. No isolate-like accumulation of PS could be demonstrated. The figures seem representative of the hole country.
报告了三项独立的调查，涵盖来自芬兰不同地区的795名患者，其中两项调查的对象是两个城镇养老院的老人（分别为205人和262人），另一项是从一个乡村公社随机抽取的人群（328人）。结果显示，剥脱综合征（PS）的平均患病率在60至69岁年龄组为14.2%，70至79岁年龄组为21.9%，80岁及以上年龄组为34.7%。患病率随年龄增长有统计学显著增加。所有三组中PS的平均患病率为22.4%。未发现PS有类似孤立病例的聚集情况。这些数据似乎代表了整个国家。
