Joint symptoms and pain belong to the most common diseases worldwide that affect people in their usual activities and lead to loss of quality of life. 29.3% of women and 24.4% of men reported acute joint pain, which is defined as pain suffered during the past 24 hours. With age, these figures increase. Women report pain in 3.9 joints on average and men in 3.6. In both genders the joints most affected are the shoulders, knees and hips. Respondents suffering from joint pain significantly more often report medically diagnosed osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis than respondents who were free of pain.
关节症状和疼痛是全球最常见的疾病之一，会影响人们的日常活动并导致生活质量下降。29.3%的女性和24.4%的男性报告有急性关节疼痛，急性关节疼痛定义为过去24小时内遭受的疼痛。随着年龄的增长，这些数字会上升。女性平均报告有3.9个关节疼痛，男性为3.6个。在两性中，受影响最严重的关节是肩膀、膝盖和臀部。与无疼痛的受访者相比，患有关节疼痛的受访者更常报告经医学诊断的骨关节炎或类风湿性关节炎。
