国家关节炎数据工作组对整个脊柱关节病（SpAs）患病率的高范围估计值为1.3%，表明在美国SpAs可能比类风湿性关节炎（RA）更普遍。最近，许多欧洲国家使用相同的样本人群进行的调查也发现，在大多数研究人群中，SpA至少与RA一样常见，包括芬兰人，瑞典人，立陶宛人，法国人，意大利人和土耳其人。在亚洲人群中，中国的SpA患病率最高，报告的估计值通常高于RA。在泰国和越南，这两种疾病可能同样常见，而在亚洲其他地区，太平洋地区和拉丁美洲，RA似乎比SpA更普遍，正如COPCORD（以社区为导向的风湿病控制计划）协议的研究所示。这两种风湿性疾病在非洲都很罕见，但SpA比RA更不常见。
The high-range estimate of 1.3% by the National Arthritis Data Workgroup for the prevalence of the entire spectrum of spondyloarthropathies (SpAs) suggests that SpAs may be more prevalent than rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the United States. Recent surveys from many European countries using the same sample population have also found SpA to be at least as common as RA in most of the studied populations, including Finnish, Swedish, Lithuanian, French, Italian, and Turkish. Among Asian populations, China has the highest prevalence of SpA, with reported estimates generally higher than that of RA. In Thailand and Vietnam, the two diseases are probably equally common, whereas RA seems to be more prevalent than SpA in the rest of Asia, the Pacific Region, and Latin America, as indicated by studies following the COPCORD (Community-Oriented Program for the Control of Rheumatic Diseases) protocol. Both rheumatic disorders are rare in Africa, but SpA is less common than RA.
