中国骨关节炎流行病学研究现状及规范

Discussion on the status quo and norms of epidemiology research of osteoarthritis in China

骨关节炎(OA)是最常见的关节疾病,随着世界人口老龄化和肥胖问题的加剧,OA的患病率逐年增加。中国的OA流行病学研究虽然多次进行了多地区的调查研究,但数据相差较多,这可能与调查采用的诊断标准不一致和检测方法不标准有关。剖析这些问题的根源,从OA的流行病学诊断标准入手,规范OA的影像学检查方法,同时不仅进行横断面研究还要进行队列研究,以及多关节、多地区、多民族的调查研究,不断完善中国OA的流行病学资料,有利于明确中国OA的患病率及致病危险因素,为早期预防和诊治并减少OA的发生发展提供有力依据。

Osteoarthritis(OA) is the most common joint disease. With the aging of the world population and the increase of obesity, the prevalence of OA is increasing year by year. Although China’s OA epidemiological research has carried out many regional investigations and studies, the data differs a lot, which may be related to the inconsistency of the diagnostic criteria used in the survey and the non-standard test methods. Analyze the root causes of these problems, start with the epidemiological diagnostic criteria of OA, standardize the imaging examination methods of OA, and not only carry out cross-sectional research but also conduct cohort research, as well as multi-joint, multi-regional and multiethnic investigations. Improving the epidemiological data of China’s OA is conducive to clarifying the prevalence and risk factors of OA in China,providing a strong basis for early diagnosis and early prevention and treatment and reducing the occurrence and development of OA.
