本文描述了关节炎研究运动流行病学单位对理解骨关节炎流行病学的贡献。Kellgren和Lawrence用放射学定义了这种情况，并制作了广泛使用的关节炎标准放射图集。他们记录了不同年龄和性别的骨关节炎患病率。基于对职业群体的研究，他们提出局部生物力学应力与病因有关。菲利普·伍德把骨关节炎作为一种疼痛和残疾的综合征。在艾伦·西尔曼担任主任期间，重点是将骨关节炎作为一个公共卫生问题。
The paper describes the contribution made to the understanding of the epidemiology of osteoarthritis by the Arthritis Reseach Campaign Epidemiology Unit. Kellgren and Lawrence defined the condition radiographically and produced the widely used Atlas of Standard Radiographs of Arthritis. They documented the age- and sex-specific prevalence of osteoarthritis. Based on studies in occupational groups, they proposed that local biomechanical stress was linked to causation. Philip Wood focused on osteoarthritis as a syndrome of pain and disability. During the directorship of Alan Silman the emphasis has been on osteoarthritis as a public health problem.
