Prevalence of Parkinson's disease in the biracial population of Copiah County, Mississippi
Abstract
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.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
