  • 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 affects mostly affects people who are older than 50 years of age.[1]
  • The mean age for the occurrence of PMR is 74 years.[1]
