Based on published prevalence studies, we used two different methodologies to project the
number of individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) in Western Europe's 5 most and the
world's 10 most populous nations. The number of individuals with PD over age 50 in these
countries was between 4.1 and 4.6 million in 2005 and will double to between 8.7 and 9.3
million by 2030.
