Description
Ray Dorsey, Alexis Elbaz, Emma Nichols, and Global Burden of Disease colleagues tracked Parkinson disease worldwide in 2018. Nerve disorders are now the top source of disability across the globe. Aging populations push diseases like Parkinson disease upward each year.
The study measures cases, deaths, and disability for most countries from 1990 to 2016. The number of people living with Parkinson disease more than doubled over that span. Growth was fastest where populations aged fastest, not only where care improved. Planners use these trends to argue for more specialists, drugs, and carer support.
