  • It is characterized by cartilage degeneration and affects primarily children and adolescents.
  • The disease has a significant impact on public health in affected regions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of Kashin-Beck disease.
  • To detail the historical context, clinical manifestations, and pathological changes.
  • To discuss the geographical distribution, particularly in Tibet, and proposed etiologies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of historical and contemporary studies on Kashin-Beck disease.
  • Analysis of agreed-upon stages of the disease.

  • Synthesis of proposed etiological factors.

    • Main Results:

    • Kashin-Beck disease has a distinct clinical picture and characteristic anatomopathological changes.
    • The disease progression is understood through agreed-upon stages.
    • Tibet is a significant region for Kashin-Beck disease occurrence.
    • Multiple etiologies have been proposed, but a definitive cause remains debated.

    Conclusions:

    • A thorough understanding of Kashin-Beck disease's history, clinical features, and pathology is crucial for management.
    • Further research into the multifactorial etiologies is needed to develop effective prevention and treatment strategies.
    • Addressing Kashin-Beck disease requires a focus on affected populations, such as those in Tibet.
