The study of a population of 208,000 in a Midlands district of England has shown the prevalence of idiopathic Parkinson's disease to be 108.4 per 100,000. This is comparable with past studies in Carlisle, England, Rochester, Minnesota, and South-West Finland. Parkinsonism associated with cerebrovascular disease is evidently recognised and differentiated by general practitioners; post-encephalitic parkinsonism is not encountered and drug-induced parkinsonism is not common in this district. The major functional disability of a carefully assessed randomly selected group was found to relate to walking and hygiene. Nevertheless, the essential physical needs of those with Parkinson's disease appear to be well met in general.
对英格兰中部地区一个20.8万人口的群体进行的研究表明，特发性帕金森病的患病率为每10万人中有108.4人。这与过去在英国卡莱尔、美国明尼苏达州罗切斯特以及芬兰西南部进行的研究结果相当。与脑血管疾病相关的帕金森综合征显然能被全科医生识别和区分；在该地区未发现脑炎后帕金森综合征，药物性帕金森综合征也不常见。对一组经过仔细评估的随机选取的患者进行研究发现，其主要功能障碍与行走和个人卫生有关。然而，帕金森病患者的基本身体需求总体上似乎得到了很好的满足。
