Paget’s Disease of Bone among Various Ethnic Groups
Journal Title: Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
Paget’s disease of bone (PDB) is a relatively benign disease common among many European populations, including those in the UK, Italy and Spain. However, it appears to be rare among Scandinavians and non-European immigrants living in Europe. Te prevalence among Asian populations may be underestimated because a large number of reported cases were discovered incidentally. Tere is a need for surveys addressing the prevalence rate and consequences of PDB to be carried out in various parts of the world, particularly Asia.
