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]

  • 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.[2][4]
  • 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.
