To determine the prevalence of essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson's disease (PD) in a retirement community, all residents of Carefree, Arizona, aged over 65 years were contacted. All participants completed validated questionnaires for PD and ET, and were examined using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. Of 356 individuals evaluated, 155 (43.5%) had tremor; 73 (20.5%) had ET; 26 (7.3%) had PD; and 56 (15.7%) had postural tremor (PT). Thus, a large percentage of individuals were found to have tremor, in the plurality of whom it could be classified as ET. The number of individuals with Parkinson's disease exceeded our expectations.

为了确定退休社区中原发性震颤 (ET) 和帕金森氏病 (PD) 的患病率,我们联系了亚利桑那州Carefree的所有65岁以上的居民。所有参与者都完成了PD和ET的验证问卷,并使用统一的帕金森氏病评分量表进行了检查。在356个被评估的个体中,155 (43.5%) 有震颤; 73 (20.5%) 有ET; 26 (7.3%) 有PD; 56 (15.7%) 有姿势性震颤 (PT)。因此,发现很大一部分人患有震颤,其中许多人可以将其归类为ET。帕金森氏病患者的数量超出了我们的预期。
