Doctors, nurses, and medical and nursing students administered a questionnaire on memory disturbances, tremor and clumsiness in their first-degree relatives who live or lived near them. We obtained data on 1,479 relatives, of whom 805 were alive and 674 had died. Of those alive and older than 65, 8.69% had severe memory disturbances, 1.11% a parkinsonian syndrome and 5.59% essential tremor. Of those who had died, 10.68% had suffered from severe memory disturbances before they died. The results of both groups are similar and in accordance with the data in the literature. In our opinion this new type of epidemiological study can be very useful in diseases which are easily detected by nonspecialists and in areas with hospitals and medical schools.
医生、护士以及医学和护理专业学生对居住在他们附近或曾经居住在附近的一级亲属进行了关于记忆障碍、震颤和动作笨拙方面的问卷调查。我们收集了1479名亲属的数据，其中805人在世，674人已去世。在世且年龄超过65岁的亲属中，8.69%有严重记忆障碍，1.11%患有帕金森综合征，5.59%有特发性震颤。在已去世的亲属中，10.68%在去世前曾患有严重记忆障碍。两组结果相似，且与文献中的数据一致。我们认为，这种新型流行病学研究对于非专科医生易于检测的疾病以及有医院和医学院的地区可能非常有用。
