The prevalence of Raynaud's syndrome, of arterial calcifications and of Dupuytren's contracture was studied in 155 subjects of both sexes, decade by decade from 20 to 90 years. Moreover the force of prehension and two-point discrimination were measured separately. The prevalence of Raynaud's syndrome was 9% independent of variations in age or of sex. The prevalence of Dupuytren's contracture was equally 9% but only subjects over 60 years old (and one woman) were affected. The force of prehension diminished significantly with age, more in women than in men, and more in older patients presenting arthritis. Lastly, tactile sensibility decreased with age but individual variations were important.
对155名年龄在20岁至90岁之间的男女受试者，按十年为一组进行研究，分析雷诺综合征、动脉钙化和掌腱膜挛缩的患病率。此外，还分别测量了抓握力和两点辨别觉。雷诺综合征的患病率为9%，与年龄或性别变化无关。掌腱膜挛缩的患病率同样为9%，但仅60岁以上的受试者（以及一名女性）受影响。抓握力随年龄显著下降，女性比男性下降更明显，在患有关节炎的老年患者中下降更显著。最后，触觉敏感性随年龄下降，但个体差异很大。
