A short questionnaire inquiring about cold sensitivity of the fingers was administered to 1752 randomly selected subjects in a probability sample drawn from the adult population of the state of South Carolina. The overall prevalence of reported cold sensitivity was approximately 10% and showed no sex or race difference. A female preponderance was revealed only after subjects exposed to vibrating tools were excluded, and then only in the white group. Estimates of the prevalence of Raynaud phenomenon were obtained using the following criteria: cold sensitive subjects reporting white and/or blue color changes: 4.6%; cold sensitivity leading to medical consultation: 3.0%; combination of the two criteria above: 1.9%.
对从南卡罗来纳州成年人口中随机抽取的概率样本中的1752名受试者进行了一份简短的关于手指冷敏感性的问卷调查。报告的冷敏感性总体患病率约为10%，且无性别或种族差异。仅在排除接触振动工具的受试者后，才发现女性占比高，且仅在白人组中如此。使用以下标准获得雷诺现象患病率的估计值：报告有变白和/或变蓝颜色变化的冷敏感受试者：4.6%；因冷敏感性而就医的：3.0%；上述两个标准结合的：1.9%。
