摘要通过邮寄调查问卷估计，8716名合格医生中有8056名（92%）回答，马萨诸塞州45岁以上的男性医生中有11%患有十二指肠溃疡。在25岁以上的所有年龄组中，男性的估计年发病率为每1 000人2.5至4.0人。在1921年以后出生的医生中，这一比例在过去10至20年中似乎有所下降。45岁以上的男性医生中约有1.5%患有胃溃疡。胃溃疡的估计年发病率随着年龄的增长而增加，65岁以上的高峰为1.0 - 1.5/1000。这些结果没有表明消化性溃疡在男性医生中过于频繁，尽管女性医生的发病率可能高于一般女性人口。溃疡的风险与专业特长或居住地没有明显的联系。
Abstract As estimated by a mail questionnaire, to which 8056 (92 per cent) of 8716 eligible physicians responded, 11 per cent of male Massachusetts physicians above the age of 45 reported have had a duodenal ulcer. The estimated annual incidence in males was between 2.5 and 4.0 per 1000 in all age groups above the age of 25. This rate appears to have decreased over the past 10 to 20 years among physicians born after 1921. About 1.5 per cent of male physicians over 45 have had a gastric ulcer. The estimated annual incidence of gastric ulcer increased with age to a peak of 1.0 to 1.5 per 1000 over 65. These results give no indication that peptic ulcer is unduly frequent among male physicians, although the rate for female physicians may be higher than that for the general female population. No association of risk of ulcer with professional specialty or place of residence is apparent.
