Estimates of the prevalence of selected arthritic and musculoskeletal diseases in the United States.
TL;DR: Prevalence in the United States is reported on prevalence rather than incidence because of the difficulty in defining the point of onset and because primary national data sources currently available are concerned with disease prevalence.
Journal Article
Epidemiology of the rheumatic diseases
TL;DR: More recent work in epidemiologic studies of rheumatic diseases has been both substantive in size and focused more on true community-based studies with the consequence that estimates of occurrence in risk obtained are likely to reflect more accurately the true nature of any associations observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The epidemiology of systemic lupus erythematosus.
TL;DR: The most important data regarding the incidence and prevalence of systemic lupus erythematosus in the general population, the epidemiologic information on the patterns of disease expression in specific subsets and the studies on mortality in SLE are reviewed.
