Disease knowledge and health education of ankylosing spondylitis

What is ankylosing spondylitis?

Ankylosing spondylitis (ankylosing spondylitis

Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease, which mainly invades sacroiliac joints, osteophytes of the spine, soft tissues near the spine and peripheral joints, and may be accompanied by extra-articular manifestations. In severe cases, spinal deformity and rigidity may occur. The prevalence rate in China is about 0.3%, the onset age is 13 ~ 3 1 year, the peak age is 20 ~ 30 years old, and the ratio of male to female is about 2 ~ 3: 1. Women have a slow onset and a mild illness.
