Abstract

Kashin-Beck is a disease which mainly harms articular cartilage and epiphyseal cartilage. A light Kashin-Beck disease is painful. It will influence laboring ability; A serious disease will make patients’ limbs disabled, and make the patients lose laboring ability for the whole life. The pathogenesis of Kashin-Beck disease is complex, and no consensus has been reached on its’ cause. Most scholars believe that there is some relationship between the Kashin-Beck disease and the drinking water in disease areas. This paper, based on the research of related references and the research in the disease areas of northwest Sichuan Plateau, discusses the relationship between the trace element in the water environment of disease areas and the cause of Kashin-Beck disease, to provide basic datas for the research on trace elements related to Kashin-Beck disease.
