Objective: To estimate the point prevalence of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) in two populations, aged 40–44 and 71–74 years, using two sets of classification criteria. Methods: The participating individuals were recruited from the Hordaland Health Study (HUSK) conducted during 1997–99. A total of 18 592 individuals born 1953–57 and 3346 individuals born 1925–27 were sent a questionnaire covering various health‐related questions, including four questions about sicca symptoms. Among those…

Prevalence of Sjögren’s syndrome in the general adult population in Spain: estimating the proportion of undiagnosed cases
TLDR
The prevalence of primary SS in Spain is comparable to that reported in other European studies with a similar design and diagnostic criteria, and primary SS could not be considered a rare (orphan) disease.
The point prevalence of clinically relevant primary Sjögren's syndrome in two Norwegian counties
TLDR
The prevalence of PSS in this Norwegian population of Caucasians is lower than previously reported when less stringent criteria for identifying PSS were used, but is in line with more recent studies using the same criteria and methods as in this study.
Early Diagnosis of Sjogren's Syndrome: An Introduction to the Newly Designed Iran Criteria for Early Diagnosis of Sjogren's Syndrome
TLDR
Iran-criteria for SS are a highly sensitive instrument for detecting Sjogren’s syndrome compared with AECG criteria and ACR-SICCA criteria.

Epidemiology of primary Sjögren's syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TLDR
A systematic review of the epidemiology of primary Sjögren's syndrome to assess the prevalence rates (PRs) and incidence rates (IRs), and to investigate possible geographic variations in pSS to better understand the global epidemiology.
A systematic review of primary Sjögren’s syndrome in male and paediatric populations
TLDR
When compared to data available from pSS adult populations, children diagnosed with pSS reported less dryness and had a higher prevalence of parotitis, lymphadenopathy and systemic symptoms and male patients were younger at the time of diagnosis.
The prevalence and incidence of mixed connective tissue disease: a national multicentre survey of Norwegian patients
TLDR
MCTD has a female predominance and the incidence and prevalence of MCTD is low, and lower than reported figures for polymyositis, dermatomyposis, systemic sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Classification criteria of Sjögren's syndrome.
Clinical pulmonary involvement in primary Sjogren's syndrome: prevalence, quality of life and mortality--a retrospective study based on registry data.
TLDR
A high population-based prevalence of clinical pulmonary involvement was found among patients with pSS, and patients with lung involvement had reduced QoL represented by the subscale Physical Functioning, and mortality was increased.

TLDR
Those subjects diagnosed positively were more impaired for each of the eight dimensions of the SF-36 than those without a diagnosis, and also suffered from higher levels of depression and fatigue.

TLDR
The data support previous studies suggesting a prevalence of PSS in the community of 0.1–0.6% rather than those suggesting a higher figure.

TLDR
The estimated incidence and prevalence of pSS in this study were slightly higher in comparison with data from other studies based on physician-diagnosed cases and the prevalence was significantly lower when compared with the findings of studiesbased on the examination of a sample of the general population.

TLDR
This study concurring with other recent reports, suggests that Sjögren’s syndrome is more prevalent than previously thought.

TLDR
Using the findings of this prospective multicenter European study, general agreement can be reached on the diagnostic procedures to be used for patients with SS.

TLDR
This prospective study confirmed the high validity and reliability of the classification criteria for Sjögren's syndrome recently proposed by the European Community Study Group.
Prevalence of primary Sjögren's syndrome in an elderly population.
TLDR
The present study suggests that pSS in elderly people in elderlyPeople is subclinical, benign and relatively common.
Prevalence of primary Sjögren's syndrome in China.
TLDR
Primary Sjögren's syndrome is not a rare disease in China, but most cases are overlooked or misdiagnosed.
The influence of age on disease manifestations and serological characteristics in primary Sjögren's syndrome.
TLDR
There is a significant influence of age on serological abnormalities in pSS, but not on disease manifestations, and no correlation between the global index nor the indices for subgroups of disease manifestations was found to age at onset, age at diagnosis, nor disease duration.

TLDR
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca was most frequent in persons aged 50-59 years and was equally common in men and women and primary Sjögren's syndrome could only be diagnosed in one person according to the Copenhagen criteria (cut-off the Schirmer-1 test < or = 5 mm/5 min), and in three persons according toThe preliminary European criteria.
