Scope note: Síndrome que se presenta en adultos mayores y que se caracteriza por dolor en las articulaciones y músculos proximales, velocidad de sedimentación elevada y curso autolimitado. El dolor generalmente se acompaña de una reacción inflamatoria. Las mujeres resultan afectadas el doble de veces que los varones y los de raza blanca con mayor frecuencia que otros grupos. La afección se asocia con frecuencia con ARTERITIS DE CÉLULAS GIGANTES y algunas teorías plantean la posibilidad de que las dos enfermedades tengan una etiología única o incluso que sean la misma entidad.

Scope note: A syndrome in the elderly characterized by proximal joint and muscle pain, high erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and a self-limiting course. Pain is usually accompanied by evidence of an inflammatory reaction. Women are affected twice as commonly as men and Caucasians more frequently than other groups. The condition is frequently associated with GIANT CELL ARTERITIS and some theories pose the possibility that the two diseases arise from a single etiology or even that they are the same entity.
