The radiological prevalence of Paget's disease was studied in 14 towns. Routine radiographs showed that the disease was present in 5.4% of people aged 55 years and over. The disease was more prevalent in men than in women at all ages, and the prevalence increased with age. The three Lancashire towns studied (Preston, Bolton, and Blackburn) had higher rates than elsewhere. This probably reflects a real geographical variation in the prevalence of Paget's disease in England and Wales.
在14个城镇对佩吉特病的放射学患病率进行了研究。常规X光片显示,55岁及以上人群中该病的患病率为5.4%。在所有年龄段中,男性的患病率均高于女性,且患病率随年龄增长而上升。所研究的三个兰开夏郡城镇(普雷斯顿、博尔顿和布莱克本)的患病率高于其他地区。这可能反映了英格兰和威尔士佩吉特病患病率在地域上的真实差异。
