To find the prevalence of "Generalised Pain of the Locomotive System" (GPLS) in the Principality of Asturias.
A crossover study, consisting of an interview and a medical examination.
Urban and rural population throughout the Autonomous Community of the Principality of Asturias.
The population group under study was chosen at random by multi-stage and proportional sampling. Criteria validated for the diagnosis of GPLS were applied.
The response was 75.6% (702 people), in whom 9.2% prevalence of GPLS was found, with a significant preponderance of women. A statistical association of GPLS both with limitations in daily activities and with the presence of anxiety or depression was found.
GPLS shares many features with Fibromyalgia syndrome. Its high prevalence and its association with functional and psychological disturbances indicate the important social repercussions of this disorder.

应答率为75.6%（702人），其中GPLS患病率为9.2%，女性明显居多。发现GPLS与日常活动受限以及焦虑或抑郁的存在均存在统计学关联。
GPLS与纤维肌痛综合征有许多共同特征。其高患病率及其与功能和心理障碍的关联表明该疾病具有重要的社会影响。
