Overview
Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) affects mostly subjects who are more than 50 years of age.[1] The prevalence of PMR is highest among subjects from Scandanavian countries and those from northern European origin.[2]
Epidemiology and Demographics
- PMR affects more than 700,000 subjects in the United States.[3]
- There is a geographical association with the prevalence of PMR; in fact, PMR occurs more among subjects from Scandanavian countries and those from northern European origin.[4][2]
- PMR mostly affects people who are older than 50 years of age.[1]
- The mean age for the occurrence of PMR is 74 years.[1]
- PMR is twice as common in females than in males.
- There is an association between PMR and giant cell arteritis. While 40 to 60% of patients with giant cell arteritis have PMR, 16 to 21% of patients with PMR develop giant cell arteritis.[5][6][7]
