在密苏里州科皮亚县的主要混血人群中，使用预先测试的筛查问卷，对主要的神经疾病进行了挨家挨户的调查。所有被怀疑患有帕金森氏症的人都被要求接受神经科医生认证的神经科医生的神经学检查。这项研究也包括住在机构中的人。帕金森‘S病(40岁以上)的患病率为每10,000人中有347人。在研究人群中，按种族或性别调整的年龄调整患病率没有显著差异。帕金森’S病的年龄特定患病率随着年龄的增长而增加。超过40%的确诊病例是在研究期间新诊断的。
A door-to-door survey of major neurologic disorders was conducted in the essentially biracial population of Copiah County, MS, using a pretested screening questionnaire. All those suspected of having Parkinson''s disease were requested to have a neurologic examination by board-certified neurologists. The study also included those living in institutions. The prevalence of Parkinson''s disease (age 40+) was 347 per 100,000 inhabitants. No substantial differences in the age-adjusted prevalence ratios by race or by sex were found in the population studied. Age-specific prevalence ratios for Parkinson''s disease increase with advancing age. Over 40% of identified cases were newly diagnosed during the study.
