“…The prevalence of Parkinson's disease in the Blue Mountains study was 4.5597 persons per 1000 (calculation: [(455.97 × 0.517) × 1.934]= 4.5647 per 1000.) 5 . The ratio increase of the prevalence of Parkinson's disease in our study in comparison is 45:1 and 41:1, respectively.…”

“…Some studies have looked at the prevalence of individual neurological disorders, often determined by general practitioners or surveys as opposed to neurologists. Examples of studies that have been carried out include studies on head injury, 1 headaches, 2 Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, 3 Parkinson's disease, 4,5 epilepsy 6 and dementia 7 . Although a handful of studies has been carried out for separate neurological disorders, there has been no prospective analysis by a neurologist in the Geraldton and Midwest region or even in an Australia rural setting.…”

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder. Epidemiological studies on the incidence of PD are important to better understand the risk factors for PD and determine the condition's natural history. Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis examine the incidence of PD and its variation by age and gender. Methods: We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE for epidemiologic studies of PD from 2001 to 2014, as a previously published systematic review included studies published until 2001. Data were analyzed separately for age group and gender, and meta-regression was used to determine whether a significant difference was present between groups. Results: Twenty-seven studies were included in the analysis. Meta-analysis of international studies showed rising incidence with age in both men and women. Significant heterogeneity was observed in the 80+ group, which may be explained by methodological differences between studies. While males had a higher incidence of PD in all age groups, this difference was only statistically significant for those in the age range 60-69 and 70-79 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: PD incidence generally increases with age, although it may stabilize in those who are 80+.

“…Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder in the elderly, and the most commonly seen movement disorder in neurology clinics [5] . Likely due to methodological and sociodemographic differences and time since publication, reported prevalence rates of PD vary widely in the published literature.…”

Background: The Arabian Gulf region is a rapidly developing part of the world. With the increase in average life-expectancy, idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD), is also expected to increase in prevalence. Furthermore, the high rate of consanguinity among Arabs probably makes familial cases of PD more likely to be encountered than other areas in the world. This review provides an update on the published literature on sporadic and familial PD in Gulf Arabs. Summary: Although the Arab population of this region shares religious beliefs and demographic characteristics with other Arabs, their environmental exposures and genetic makeup may be different. This could account for the relatively low prevalence of PD reported in the Al-Thugba study (27 per 100,000) compared with prevalence rates by most other studies on Arab (mainly North African) populations (31.4-557.4 per 100,000). Key Messages: Gulf countries are considered rich countries, which makes conducting nation-wide or even international studies logistically easier than it is in many other countries. Such multinational research can be organized by the existing Gulf Cooperation Council, or through a collaboration of the Ministries of Health. This would, hopefully, culminate in the introduction of more research centers, as well as the implementation of better health care policies and practices for the ageing community.

Population prevalence and incidence of Parkinson’s disease in an Australian community

Abstract: This study estimates a 0.46% (95%CI 0.23-0.68) prevalence of PD patients treated with medications aged 50 years or older and a 10-year incidence of 0.84% (95%CI 0.54-1.33).
