在一个有14010人的社区（居住在印度孟买殖民地的帕西人）进行了一项神经系统疾病的挨家挨户调查。神经科医生使用定义的诊断标准来评估筛查调查中阳性结果的人。233人（104名男性; 129名女性）被确定为原发性震颤。整体患病率为每十万人口1591.7人。随着年龄的增长，乳腺癌特异性患病率增加。男性和女性经统计学调整的患病率相似。据我们所知，这是亚洲首个以社区为基础的原发性震颤调查。
A door-to-door survey for neurologic diseases was conducted in a community of 14 010 people (Parsis living in colonies in Bombay, India). Neurologists used defined diagnostic criteria to evaluate persons with positive results on the screening survey. Two hundred thirty-three people (104 men; 129 women) were identified as having essential tremor. The overall prevalence ratio was 1591.7 per 100 000 population. Age-specific prevalence ratios increased with age. Age-adjusted prevalence ratios were similar for men and women. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first community-based survey for essential tremor in Asia.
