我们研究了运动障碍（MD）在萨斯喀彻温省的社区居民年龄大于或等于65岁。70人的代表性样本进行了详细的神经系统评估。那些在第一次检查时有明确和可能的MD的人由高级神经科医生进行第二次神经系统评估。最常见的MD是原发性震颤（ET）（14%），其次是帕金森病（PD）（3%）。PD和ET患病率的显著差异归因于：（a）一般人群中ET的发病率较高;（B）大多数（如果不是全部）ET病例居住在社区的可能性更大，而相当大比例的老年PD病例可能被机构化，以及（c）PD生存期缩短，但ET预期寿命正常。
We studied movement disorders (MD) in community residents of Saskatchewan aged greater than or equal to 65 years. A representative sample of 70 individuals had detailed neurological evaluation. Those who had definite and possible MD at first examination had a second neurological assessment by a senior neurologist. The most prevalent MD was essential tremor (ET) (14%) followed by Parkinson's disease (PD) (3%). The marked difference in prevalence ratios for PD and ET are attributed to: (a) higher incidence of ET in the general population; (b) a greater possibility that most, if not all, ET cases would reside in the community whereas a sizable proportion of elderly PD cases may be institutionalized, and (c) shortened survival in PD but a normal life expectancy in ET.
