Global, regional and national burden of Parkinson's disease in people over 55 years of age: a systematic analysis of the global burden of disease study, 1991-2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Parkinson's disease (PD) has emerged as a major global public health challenge. However, there is currently a lack of systematic analysis regarding the burden of PD and its long-term trends among people over 55 years of age.

Methods

This study utilizes data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 database to analyze the prevalence, incidence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and mortality rates of PD in individuals aged 55 and older from 1990 to 2021. The annual percentage change was calculated to assess the temporal trends of the disease burden. Point estimates and their corresponding ranges were reported with 95% uncertainty intervals.

Results

Globally, the prevalence, incidence, DALYs, and mortality rates of PD in individuals aged 55 and above sign
