- Myotonic dystrophy type I (MDI) is the most prevalent muscular dystrophy in adults, with a study in Madrid finding a prevalence of 14.4 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
- The research involved 1101 patients and identified key factors affecting healthcare use, including gender and socioeconomic status as indicators for more hospital admissions and healthcare consultations.
