Abstract

Incidence and prevalence rates of motor neuron disease in two Italian provinces (Asti and Cuneo, Piedmont region) in the period 1971 through 1985 were estimated. The data were omogeneous in the investigated area, but an increasing incidence of the disease during the period studied was found, particularly in older age groups and in females. An increasing trend in mean age of onset of symptoms was also found.

摘要

对1971年至1985年期间意大利两个省份（皮埃蒙特地区的阿斯蒂省和库内奥省）运动神经元病的发病率和患病率进行了估算。在所调查区域内数据具有同质性，但发现在研究期间该疾病的发病率呈上升趋势，尤其是在老年人群体和女性中。还发现症状出现的平均年龄有上升趋势。
