Abstract
Essential tremor (ET) is much more prevalent than Parkinson’s disease (PD) in Western countries. We estimated ET and PD prevalence in Wadi Ara Arabic villages in Northern Israel.
In this door-to-door survey, all consenting residents aged ≥ 65 years were systematically examined by an Arabic speaking team. No pre-screening questionnaires were used. A random sample of 900 subjects [437 males, mean age (SD)=72.6 years(6.6)] of the 2,163 eligible residents were evaluated. Sixteen subjects had an action, intentional tremor. Tremor prevalence was estimated as 1.78 % (95 % CI 1.1–2.87). Nine of these had another likely cause of tremor. Only 7 were diagnosed as ET [prevalence 0.78 % (95 %CI 0.38–1.6)]. PD was diagnosed in 13 subjects. PD prevalence was 1.44 % (95%CI 0.84–2.45).
ET is unusually uncommon in this population and possibly even less frequent than PD. PD prevalence in Wadi Ara is similar to that reported in Western countries.
