In this investigation, parallel to an earlier study [1] of 660 musicians from the USA, 606 individuals from a factory in Ostersund, Sweden, were studied to determine the prevalence and nature of their hypermobility. They were examined using the same protocol and by the same examiner as in the earlier study for the presence of five well recognized features of hypermobility. In this mostly middle-aged population of workers, as in the earlier population of mostly young musicians, joint laxity was found to be far more common among females. In both sexes hypermobility is seen to decline with age, the rate of fall being about the same for men and women.
在这项调查中，与之前对660名美国音乐家的研究[1]并行，对来自瑞典于默奥一家工厂的606人进行了研究，以确定他们关节过度活动的患病率和性质。他们按照与之前研究相同的方案，由同一名检查者检查是否存在五种公认的关节过度活动特征。在这个以中年工人为主的群体中，就像之前以年轻音乐家为主的群体一样，女性的关节松弛更为常见。在男女两性中，关节过度活动都随年龄增长而减少，男性和女性的下降速度大致相同。
