The relationship between osteoarthritis and osteoporosis of the hand was examined in a random sample of the Jewish population in Jerusalem. It was found that osteoporosis and osteoarthritis of the hand showed differing prevalences, only rarely coexisted, and that there was neither a positive nor a negative correlation between them (p greater than 0.05). This would strengthen the contention that these are two independent and unrelated disease processes.
在耶路撒冷的犹太人群体随机样本中，研究了手部骨关节炎与骨质疏松症之间的关系。结果发现，手部骨质疏松症和骨关节炎的患病率不同，很少同时存在，且两者之间既无正相关也无负相关（p>0.05）。这将强化以下观点，即这是两个独立且不相关的疾病过程。
