从第二次和第三次全国研究的发病率统计从全科医学，从1970年至1972年和1981年至1982年，分别由全科医学研究单位的皇家学院的全科医生，进行了分析，估计类风湿关节炎的发病率，并检查这些利率随时间的变化。从1970年至1972年和1980年至1981年，女性RA的年龄调整年发病率从3.3例/1,000人-年降至2.6例/1,000人-年;男性未观察到变化。在同一时间间隔内，男女年龄调整期RA患病率分别从6.4/1000上升至7.5/1000，女性和男性分别从2.8/1000上升至3.5/1000。这些数据，应谨慎解释，证实了女性类风湿关节炎的发病率下降，并表明在过去十年中，在两种性别的类风湿关节炎的患病率增加。
Data from the Second and Third National Studies of Morbidity Statistics from General Practice, conducted from 1970 to 1972 and 1981 to 1982, respectively, by the General Practice Research Unit of the Royal College of General Practitioners, were analyzed to estimate morbidity rates of RA and examine changes in these rates over time. The age-adjusted annual incidence of RA in females fell from 3.3 to 2.6 cases per 1,000 person-years from 1970 to 1972 and 1980 to 1981; there was no change observed in males. Over the same time interval, there was a rise in age-adjusted period prevalence of RA in both sexes from 6.4 to 7.5 per 1,000 and 2.8 to 3.5 per 1,000 in females and males, respectively. These data, which should be interpreted with caution, confirm a decline in incidence of RA in females and demonstrate an increase in prevalence of RA in both sexes over the past decade.
