Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of essential tremor increases with age.
Prevalence
- 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.
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- 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].
Age
- Essential tremor has bimodal 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.
Race
- Prevalence of Parkinson's disease is higher in Caucasians as compared to black or East and oriental populations[2].
Gender
- [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].
Region
- Parkinson's disease affects more Caucasians as compared to black or East and Southeast Asian populations[2].
