The authors investigated sports-related precedents in two groups of male subjects, aged 40 years and over, of French nationality. One group had consulted for a degenerative, chronic rheumatic disorder, and the control group showed no signs of this type of disorder. Care was taken to verify that the two groups did not differ in terms of profession, means of commuting from home to work, and non-sporting leisure physical activities. The authors observed that the subjects of the first group (chronic degenerative rheumatic disease) more frequently engaged in a sports activity, and in a significant manner, than did the control subjects. A separate study of the certain kinds of sports and the various arthritic localisations also revealed significant correlations. Although this involved a retrospective enquiry, the authors feel that the results provide arguments in favor of the pathogenic role of sports activity, with regard to peripheral joints and the spine. However, this role of sports is probably only partial and irregular. The risks of sports activity must be put in perspective and balanced with the various advantages afforded by the practice of sports.
作者对两组40岁及以上的法国男性受试者的运动相关先例进行了调查。一组曾因退行性慢性风湿性疾病就诊，而对照组未表现出此类疾病的迹象。研究人员小心地核实了两组在职业、上下班通勤方式以及非运动性休闲体育活动方面并无差异。作者观察到，第一组受试者（慢性退行性风湿性疾病患者）比对照组受试者更频繁且显著地参与体育活动。对某些类型的运动和各种关节炎发病部位的单独研究也显示出显著的相关性。尽管这是一项回顾性调查，但作者认为，这些结果为体育活动在外周关节和脊柱方面的致病作用提供了论据。然而，体育的这种作用可能只是部分的且不规则的。必须正确看待体育活动的风险，并与体育锻炼带来的各种益处相权衡。
