The unique pattern of peptic ulcer disease in arctic areas has long been of interest. Results from a retrospective study on the occurrences of gastric and duodenal ulcer for the period between 1962 and 1964 in the northern part of Norway are presented. These results are compared with preliminary data from an ongoing investigation of peptic ulcer in the radiological department at the University Hospital of Tromsø and with those presented by others from the same area in the 1940s. It is shown that the relation between gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer has changed markedly both for women and men. However, there is still a higher incidence rate of gastric ulcer than of duodenal ulcer in women, whereas the ratio of gastric to duodenal ulcer in men is 1:1. These results contrast sharply with those reported elsewhere in Europe and in the United States.
北极地区消化性溃疡疾病的独特模式长期以来一直备受关注。本文呈现了一项关于1962年至1964年挪威北部胃和十二指肠溃疡发病情况的回顾性研究结果。这些结果与特罗姆瑟大学医院放射科正在进行的消化性溃疡调查的初步数据以及20世纪40年代来自同一地区其他人所呈现的数据进行了比较。结果显示，无论男性还是女性，胃溃疡与十二指肠溃疡之间的关系都发生了显著变化。然而，女性胃溃疡的发病率仍然高于十二指肠溃疡，而男性胃溃疡与十二指肠溃疡的比例为1:1。这些结果与欧洲其他地区和美国所报道的结果形成了鲜明对比。
