The prevalence of essential tremor is approximately 0.4% to 5.6%^[1].
Seven million people worldwide and one million people in the United States are suffering from Parkinson's disease.
The prevalence of [disease/malignancy] is estimated to be [number] cases annually.

In [year], the incidence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [number range]%.
The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [disease name] is approximately [number range].

Essential tremor has bi-modal incidence according to age, early in life especially second decade, and then in older age groups. The incidence increases with age.
Incidence of Parkinson's disease increases with age, 1% of the population over 60 are affected and 4% of the population over 80.

Prevalence of Parkinson's disease is higher in Caucasians as compared to black or East and oriental populations^[2].

[Disease name] affects men and women equally.
Males are more commonly affected by Parkinson's disease than [female]. The [male] to [female] ratio is approximately 3:2^[3].

Parkinson's disease affects more Caucasians as compared to black or East and Southeast Asian populations^[2].
