A survey of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients was conducted in civilian general hospitals on Oahu, Hawaii for the years 1970-75. One hundred sixty-eight cases were ascertained, of which 107 were considered "definite." Age-adjusted prevalence rates per 100,000 were estimated for definite cases at the end of 1975 as follows: white 5.8, Chinese 24.1, Filipino 19.9, part-Hawaiian 20.4, and Japanese 18.2. There was a heavy preponderance of females in each ethnic group, averaging 90% of the definite cases overall. Review of vital statistics for the United States and Hawaii during this period showed age-adjusted SLE mortality rates per million as follows: U.S. white 3.04, U.S. non-white 8.82, Hawaii white 1.89, Hawaii non-white 14.46. The cause of the very high SLE prevalence and mortality in the Oriental and Polynesian people of Hawaii is not clear.
1970年至1975年期间，在夏威夷瓦胡岛的民用综合医院对系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）患者进行了一项调查。共确诊168例病例，其中107例被视为“确诊”。1975年底，对确诊病例每10万人的年龄调整患病率进行了如下估计：白人5.8，华人24.1，菲律宾人19.9，部分夏威夷人20.4，日本人18.2。每个种族群体中女性占绝大多数，总体上确诊病例平均占90%。对这一时期美国和夏威夷的生命统计数据进行回顾后发现，每百万人口的年龄调整SLE死亡率如下：美国白人3.04，美国非白人8.82，夏威夷白人1.89，夏威夷非白人14.46。夏威夷的东方人和波利尼西亚人SLE患病率和死亡率极高的原因尚不清楚。
