A male preponderance of Parkinson's disease (PD) has been reported in European countries and the USA. To verify this issue in Japanese patients with PD, we examined the age- and gender-specific prevalence of PD in Yamagata Prefecture (population 1,244,040), Japan. The prevalence of PD was 61.3/100,000 men and 91.0/100,000 women, showing that women were significantly more affected by PD than men (p < 0.001). Contrary to the findings in Europe and the USA, the results indicate a female preponderance of PD among the Japanese population.
在欧洲国家和美国，帕金森病（PD）患者中男性居多。为了在日本帕金森病患者中验证这一问题，我们调查了日本山形县（人口1,244,040）帕金森病按年龄和性别的患病率。帕金森病的患病率为男性61.3/10万，女性91.0/10万，表明女性受帕金森病影响的程度明显高于男性（p<0.001）。与欧洲和美国的研究结果相反，这些结果表明在日本人群中帕金森病患者以女性居多。
