Overview

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of essential tremor increases with age.
  • In [year], the incidence/prevalence of [disease name] was estimated to be [number range] cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.

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 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.

Race

  • Prevalence of Parkinson's disease is higher in Caucasians as compared to black or East and Southeast Asian populations[2].
  • There is no racial predilection to [disease name].
  • [Disease name] usually affects individuals of the [race 1] race. [Race 2] individuals are less likely to develop [disease name].

Gender

  • [Disease name] affects men and women equally.
  • [Gender 1] are more commonly affected by [disease name] than [gender 2]. The [gender 1] to [gender 2] ratio is approximately [number > 1] to 1.

Region

  • Parkinson's disease affects more Caucasians as compared to black or East and Southeast Asian populations.
