Prevalence of neurodegenerative parkinsonism in an isolated population in south-eastern Moravia, Czech Republic
Original language description
Parkinson's disease (PD) and parkinsonism are the most prevalent chronic neurological disorders in the elderly. The prevalence of PD in Europe in the population over 65 years of age is reported as approximately 1.6 %, with a little variation among European countries ranging from 1.1 to 2.2 % [1-6]. It has been suggested that the prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases in a small, isolated European communities might be higher than in the general population [5, 7]. We have observed possible rebound of such a phenomenon, i.e., more frequent referrals of patients with parkinsonism to neurological outpatient clinics, in a small village in south-eastern Moravia (Lipov, 69634 Czech Republic, 1,524 inhabitants according to the 2011 census),where a low regional mobility and a traditional lifestyle are preserved.
