A secondary analysis of two new large practitioner surveys, one national and one local, showed the prevalence of juvenile arthritis to be between 0.16 and 0.43 cases per 1,000 children. These rates compare quite closely with the majority of reports both in the United States and the world. We believe the prevalence of juvenile arthritis is between 0.2 and 1 case per 1,000 children (13,000--63,000 children), with the best estimate being about 0.5 cases per 1,000 children. Based on the 1980 census data, this latter estimate means there are approximately 32,00 children with juvenile arthritis in the United States.
两项新的大型从业者调查的二次分析，一项是全国性的，一项是地方性的，结果显示青少年关节炎的患病率为每1000名儿童中有0.16至0.43例。这些比率与美国和世界上大多数报告的数据相当接近。我们认为青少年关节炎的患病率为每1000名儿童中有0.2至1例（13000 - 63000名儿童），最佳估计约为每1000名儿童中有0.5例。根据1980年的人口普查数据，后一项估计意味着美国约有32000名儿童患青少年关节炎。
