Day 1: How Many?

Parkinson's Journey


Posted: 01 Apr 2014 08:21 AM PDT
  • As many as one million Americans live with Parkinson's disease, which is more than the combined number of people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and Lou Gehrig's disease.

  • Approximately 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease each year, and this number does not reflect the thousands of cases that go undetected.

  • An estimated seven to 10 million people worldwide are living with Parkinson's disease.

  • Incidence of Parkinson’s increases with age, but an estimated four percent of people with PD are diagnosed before the age of 50.


  • and just because it happens to be April 1st, we're not fooling around… Although it typically develops after the age of 65, about 15% of people with the condition develop “young-onset” Parkinson's disease before reaching age 50.
