22,049 adults were surveyed in a ten-year epidemiological study. The frequency of common rheumatic symptoms in Shantou population was much lower than that in northern China. The prevalence of ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and gout was 0.20%-0.32%, 0.20%-0.26%, 8.3%-10.8%, 12.4% and 0.15%-0.17% respectively. The frequency of HLA-B27 was 4.1% among general population and 90.6% in ankylosing spondylitis. The most commonly involved sites of osteoarthritis were lumbar spine, neck, and knee; but hands and hip were rarely involved. 85% subjects under investigation were found to be short of calcium intake. The differences between the north and the south of China in the prevalence of rheumatic symptoms may be related to the diversities in consciousness of seeking medical advice, reduction of bone content, climate and ergonomics.

The prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) in China has been increasing rapidly during the past decade and this disease has stepped up to the second most common metabolic disease following diabetes mellitus. Different disciplinary panels have developed guidelines and consensus on hyperuricemia and gout in respective fields. However, hyperuricemia has been well illustrated to be related to multiple organ disorders such as kidney injuries, endocrine and metabolic abnormalities, and cardiocerebrovascular diseases etc. A multi-disciplinary expert consensus on hyperuricemia and its related diseases will therefore provide a more comprehensive understanding in the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases. The following manuscript is the first consensus established by a task force including rheumatologists, nephrologists, endocrinologists, cardiologists, neurologists, urologists and traditional Chinese medicine experts. This consensus aims at promoting multi-disciplinary collaboration and providing guidelines in clinical practice for general practitioners, doctors from different disciplines at different levels.
