What is The epidemiology of cognitive function in Parkinson's disease about?
Epidemiology is the study of the distribution of disease in human populations, which is important in evaluating burden of illness, identifying modifiable risk factors, and planning for current and projected needs of the health care system. Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common serious neurodegenerative illness and is expected to further increase in prevalence. Cognitive changes are increasingly viewed as an integral non-motor feature in PD, emerging even in the prodromal phase of the disease. The prevalence of PD-MCI ranges from 20% to 40% depending on the population studied. The incidence of PD-dementia increases with duration of disease, with estimates growing from 3% to 30% of individuals followed for 5 years or less to over 80% after 20 years. There are several challenges in estimating the frequency of cognitive change, including only recently standardized diagnostic criteria, variation depending on exact neuropsychological evaluations performed, and differences in population sampling. Clinical features associated with cognitive decline include older age, increased disease duration and severity, early gait dysfunction, dysautonomia, hallucinations and other neurops
