“…Such populations included schoolboys (Wood, 1970), male and female physical education students (Bradbury, Brooke, and Maclock, 1969), and male medical students (Malone, 1904). Furthermore, the surface markings used to identify the level of measurement varied from nipple level (Hart and Maclagan, 1955;Hunter and Bomford, 1963) to 4th intercostal space (Bennett and Wood, 1968;Bradbury and others, 1969), and frequently no specific level of measurement was reported (Malone, 1904;Durrigl, Mezulic, Androic, and Vitaus, 1965;Wood, 1970). Broadly speaking, however, numerical data for both circumferential (Hart and Maclagan, 1955;Hunter and Bomford, 1963;Durrigl and others, 1965;Bradbury and others, 1969;Wood, 1970) and diametric expansion (Malone, 1904;Bradbury and others, 1969) compare reasonably well with the results obtained from the present investigation.…”

“…Nearly 75% of Singapore Chinese [13] and about one quarter to half of Caucasian patients [14,15] were reported to have multiple peripheral arthropathies. A dominant lower limb (oligo-to polyarthritis) was seen in 40% of Asian Indians with AS [9] and in one-third of the Arab group in Saudi Arabia [11].…”

Ankylosing spondylitis is a rather uncommon condition in the UAE. Over a period of 10 years. 28 hospital-based patients diagnosed as having AS were retrospectively studied. They included 17 Arabs and 11 Asians. The onset of AS in most patients in this study was in adulthood (mean age at onset was 27.7 years in Arabs and 28.75 years in Asians). HLA B27 was positive in 56 and 81% in these two populations, respectively (P > 0.05). Analysis of these figures, however, along with previous relevant published data, could indicate that Arabs with AS are less likely to be B27-positive than Asians. Among the Arab patients there was not a single case from the local community, which could be attributed to the extremely low rate of B27 phenotype in their normal population. The interracial variations in the frequency of clinical features were statistically insignificant, therefore indicating some degree of similarity in the form and disease expression in both groups. AS is characterized as being predominantly axial in the majority of our patients. Extraspinal (oligo-poly) arthropathy involved mainly hips and knees, and there have been fewer extra-articular manifestations compared with other series published.
