首次绘制了美国大陆县级的平均年年龄调整运动神经元疾病（MND）死亡率。虽然绝大多数的死亡率与美国的平均水平没有显著差异，但死亡率最高的地区通常是密西西比河以西，而死亡率最低的地区是密西西比河以东。MND死亡率与农村农业和社会经济地位有关，但与城市化医生人口比例、铅或汞暴露或5种癌症死亡率无关。
Average annual age-adjusted motor neuron disease (MND) mortality rates were mapped for the 1st time at the county level in the continental USA. Although the great majority of the rates did not differ significantly from the USA average, the highest mortality rates were generally found west of the Mississippi and the lowest rates east of the Mississippi. MND mortality was associated with rural farming and socioeconomic status but not with urbanization physician-population ratios, Pb or Hg exposure, or mortality rates of 5 kinds of cancer.
