University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson, MS.
A door-to-door survey of major neurologic disorders was conducted in the essentially biracial population of Copiah County, MS, using a pretested screening questionnaire. All those suspected of having Parkinson's disease were requested to have a neurologic examination by board-certified neurologists. The study also included those living in institutions. The prevalence of Parkinson's disease (age 40 +) was 347 per 100,000 inhabitants. No substantial differences in the age-adjusted prevalence ratios by race or by sex were found in the population studied. Age-specific prevalence ratios for Parkinson's disease increase with advancing age. Over 40% of identified cases were newly diagnosed during the study.

Supported by the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke, Bethesda, MD. under Interagency Agreement Y01-NS-7-0031 and Contract N01-NS-7-2357. The investigation was a joint effort of the Institute, the US Bureau of the Census, the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson, and the Mississippi State Board of Health, Jackson.
Presented in part at the thirty-third annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, April 1981.
