Results Prevalence of Osteo-Arthrosis and Disk Degeneration In the 55-64 age group, some radiological evidence of osteo-arthrosis was almostuniversal (Table I, opposite).Of those who attended for x ray, 83 per cent. of males and 87 per cent. of females had radiological evidence of osteo-arthrosis in one or other of the joints x rayed. The actual prevalence in the population, however, may have been slightly lower than this since there were fewer persons with rheumatic pain amongst the refusals than in those attending for x ray. The proportions are, there-fore, assessed both from the total population sample and from the total of those attending for x ray, thus giving a" minimal" and" maximal" prevalence. The true proportion should fall between these values. 388
