Life changes preceding the onset of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) were studied in 49 children with prolonged arthritis, and in 58 children with temporary arthritis. In addition, the frequency of changes experienced by patients during their life was compared with the expectancy scores for healthy children. The frequency of changes during the year prior to the onset of the disease did not differentiate children with JRA from children with temporary arthritis. During their lives, the children of both groups had experienced a higher frequency of life changes requiring considerable readjustment than healthy children of the same age.
对49名患有持续性关节炎的儿童和58名患有暂时性关节炎的儿童，研究了幼年类风湿性关节炎（JRA）发病前的生活变化。此外，还将患者在其生活中经历变化的频率与健康儿童的预期得分进行了比较。疾病发作前一年中变化的频率，无法区分患JRA的儿童和患暂时性关节炎的儿童。在他们的生活中，两组儿童经历需要大量重新适应的生活变化的频率，都高于同龄健康儿童。
