The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of essential tremor (ET) in a Turkish population living in Sile, a rural town located on Black Sea coast of Istanbul. This study was designed as a descriptive cross-sectional field study. People aged 18 years and over were selected for the study. Tremor surveillance questionnaire was applied by door-to-door visits. Subsequently, all subjects who answered the questionnaire had a standard tremor examination. Diagnosis was made based on Washington Heights-Inwood Genetic Study of Essential Tremor (WHIGET) diagnosis and clinical evaluation scale. A total of 2227 people was screened. The prevalence of ET was found to be 3.09% (95% Cl=2.42-3.91%) in Turkish population aged over 18 years. The prevalence of ET increased by age in both genders.
本研究的目的是确定居住在伊斯坦布尔黑海沿岸的一个乡村小镇锡勒的土耳其人群中特发性震颤（ET）的患病率。本研究设计为描述性横断面现场研究。选择18岁及以上的人群进行研究。通过挨家挨户走访应用震颤监测问卷。随后，所有回答问卷的受试者都接受了标准的震颤检查。根据华盛顿高地-因伍德特发性震颤基因研究（WHIGET）诊断和临床评估量表进行诊断。共筛查了2227人。在18岁以上的土耳其人群中，ET的患病率为3.09%（95%可信区间=2.42-3.91%）。ET的患病率在两性中均随年龄增长而增加。
