Abstract

The article examines the morbidity and mortality associated with Paget's bone disease in a large sample of people in Olmsted County, Minnesota. Particular attention is given to residents that got a new diagnosis of Paget's disease from 1950 through 1994. The mortality rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
