Article Synopsis
- Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with both motor and psychiatric symptoms; this study aimed to estimate its age- and sex-specific incidence in Germany using a mathematical model based on prevalence and mortality data.
- The study utilized a partial differential equation (PDE) and bootstrapping techniques to accurately analyze data from 2010 to 2019, finding that men had consistently higher incidences of PD than women, particularly peaking at age 85.
- The findings indicate the effectiveness of the illness-death model in estimating PD incidence, highlighting a reliable method that reduces the risk of bias in future research.
