The sex prevalence of idiopathic focal dystonia is reported from a data base review of all patients seen at the National Hospital of Neurology, Queen Square and King's College, London up to 1993. There was a higher prevalence of females to males in all categories of focal dystonia involving the craniocervical region. The female to male ratio for cranial dystonia was 1.92:1 (P < 0.01) and 1.6:1 (P < 0.001) for spasmodic torticollis. On the other hand, twice as many men than women had writer's cramp (M:F = 2.0:1, P < 0.01). At present, there is no clear explanation to account for this differences in the sex prevalence of different types of focal dystonia.
通过对截至1993年在伦敦女王广场国家神经病学医院和国王学院就诊的所有患者的数据库回顾,报告了特发性局灶性肌张力障碍的性别患病率。在涉及颅颈区域的所有局灶性肌张力障碍类别中,女性患病率高于男性。颅肌张力障碍的女性与男性比例为1.92:1(P<0.01),痉挛性斜颈为1.6:1(P<0.001)。另一方面,患书写痉挛的男性人数是女性的两倍(男:女=2.0:1,P<0.01)。目前,对于不同类型局灶性肌张力障碍的性别患病率差异,尚无明确解释。
