Abstract

The radiological prevalence of Paget's disease of bone has been studied in 31 towns in Britain. A remarkably localised area of high prevalence has been shown in Lancashire. Although environmental influences seem dominant in the aetiology of the disease, no hypothesis about the enviromental cause of the Lancashire focus can be advanced.
