“…97.8% of patients treated were women while 2.2% were men. 29 These results coincide with the results obtained in this study, as the most prevalent age is found between 55 and 64 years in both women and men. It is worth highlighting the prevalence of FM in rural areas.…”

Objective: To measure the prevalence and cumulative incidence of individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia (FM) in Catalonia between 2010 and 2017. Methods: A retrospective observational study of the population of Catalonia between 2010 and 2017, both included, was designed to describe the incidence, prevalence, and sociodemographic characteristics of individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia. A total of 56 098 patients were included in the study. The scope of the study were the 283 Primary Care Teams (PCT), all managed by the Instituto Catalán de la Salud [Catalan Institute of Health] (ICS). Results: The diagnosis of FM is higher in females (95.4%) than males (4.55%), with a mean age of 53.0 [45.0-61.0] years. The prevalence of FM in the total population was 0.4% in 2010 and 1.4% in 2017. The highest prevalence was found in the 55 to 65 age group (1.05% in 2010, and 2.46% in 2017). A relationship was found between the prevalence of FM and the degree of socioeconomic deprivation in urban areas: the greater the deprivation, the greater the prevalence of FM. The cumulative incidence of FM in the population remained constant over time (0.11% in 2010 and 0.10% in 2017), being more prevalent in women than men (0.18% women, 0.01% men in 2017). Conclusions: Our study confirms that FM is a prevalent disease in Catalonia, with an upward trend in recent years and it is more prevalent in women.

“…Similar to this research, there is another study 29 using a qualitative methodology to learn about the reality of persons with fibromyalgia with regards to labor and its negative effect on performance, particularly because of the physical effort involved. Along these lines, other studies 26,30,31 with results similar to ours conclude that most individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia are on sick leave or unemployed (sometimes against their will), but if they are working, they will need shorter workdays or a change of job. 27,32,33 This requires understanding and support by peers as a key ingredient to be able to keep their jobs.…”

“…The consumption of substances such as alcohol and tobacco, could be associated with an FM diagnosis, since some studies show an intake of alcohol and tobacco (41.4% and 38.5%, respectively) above the average of the general population (19% and 36%) [31]. However, in our sample only 14.2% of patients diagnosed with FM have low-risk alcohol consumption and 0.49% have a high risk, 49.8% are non-smokers and 24% are smokers.…”
