With the aging society, musculoskeletal degenerative diseases are becoming a burden on society, and rotator cuff disease is one of these degenerative diseases. The purpose of this study was to examine the incidence of shoulder osteoarthritis and the etiologic factors of rotator cuff disease in the Korean elderly population. A total of 102 patients performing ultrasonography were recruited, and their demographic factors were analyzed. As functional factors, visual analog scale and the peak torque of external and internal rotators of the shoulder using an isokinetic dynamometer were measured. As an anatomical factor, the acromiohumeral distance in the plain radiograph of the glenohumeral anterior-posterior view was used. There were more female patients (65.7%) than male patients (34.3%). The age range with the highest number of respondents was 50-59 years old. The mean visual analogue score was 4.09 (Min 1 to Max 9). Age and dominant hand side factors appear to be the crucial etiologic factors of the presence and severity of rotator cuff disease. The lower net value of the external rotator strength is weakly related to the presence of rotator cuff disease after adjusting for age, and this is the only modifiable factor in the study.
随着社会老龄化，肌肉骨骼退行性疾病成为社会的负担，肩袖疾病就是其中一种退行性疾病。本研究旨在探讨韩国老年人群中肩关节炎的发病率和肩袖疾病的病因因素。共招募了 102 名接受超声检查的患者，并分析了他们的人口统计学因素。作为功能因素，使用等速测力计测量视觉模拟评分和肩外旋和内旋的峰值扭矩。作为解剖学因素，使用肩肱前后位平片测量肩峰肱骨关节距离。女性患者（65.7%）多于男性患者（34.3%）。应答者人数最多的年龄范围是 50-59 岁。平均视觉模拟评分为 4.09（最小 1，最大 9）。年龄和优势手侧因素似乎是肩袖疾病存在和严重程度的关键病因因素。在调整年龄后，外旋肌力量的净差值较低与肩袖疾病的存在呈弱相关，这是研究中唯一可改变的因素。
