Abstract-- Based on published prevalence studies, we used two different methodologies to project the number of individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) in Western Europes 5 most and the worlds 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.
