In the Lettish SSR sarcoidosis was discovered in 292 women and 192 men in the period from 1958 to 1975. The average annual incidence rate per 10000 inhabitants was 3.09 in females and 2.04 in males. Contrary to this general predominance of females over males the incidence rate for boys was 4 to 5 times higher than for girls in the youngest age group ranging from 10 to 19 years. In the age group from 20 to 29 years there was also still noted a distinctly higher relative incidence in males but it was smaller in comparison with the younger group. The reasons for these age depending sex differences are unknown. The possible importance of endocrine processes for the pathogenesis of sarcoidosis is discussed.
在拉脱维亚苏维埃社会主义共和国，1958年至1975年期间，发现292名女性和192名男性患有结节病。每10000名居民的年平均发病率女性为3.09，男性为2.04。与女性总体上多于男性的情况相反，在10至19岁的最年轻年龄组中，男孩的发病率比女孩高4至5倍。在20至29岁年龄组中，男性的相对发病率也明显较高，但与较年轻组相比要小。这些随年龄变化的性别差异的原因尚不清楚。文中讨论了内分泌过程在结节病发病机制中的可能重要性。
