Kawimmnggowil V The association of age, sex and the number of sides of carpal tunnel syndrome were studied
in 250 patients. The mean age of the patients with bilateral involvement was more than
unilateral involvement (t = 2.48, p < 0.05). A statistically significant association was found between age
and the number of sides of carpal tunnel syndrome (chi-square = 16.707, p < 0.05). There was
also statistical significance in association of sex and the number of sides of carpal tunnel syndrome
(chi-square = 10.2398, p < 0.01 ). The association of age, sex and the number of sides of carpal
tunnel syndrome found in the study may help the prediction of diagnosis and natural history of the
disease.
