203 hospitalized old-aged patients were examined for the presence of tremor. This physical sign was found in 58.6% of cases. By far the largest diagnostic category resulted that of essential tremor: 46.7% of all patients investigated and 77.8% of all cases of tremor. The frequency of this type of tremor was found to increase proportionally to age. The conclusion is drawn that also tremor, as well as other neurological signs frequently demonstrable in "normal" old people (for example, the so-called primitive reflexes), should be inscribed in the group of the phenomena due to the ageing process itself.
对203名住院老年患者进行了震颤检查。在58.6%的病例中发现了这一体征。到目前为止，最大的诊断类别是特发性震颤：在所有接受调查的患者中占46.7%，在所有震颤病例中占77.8%。发现这种类型的震颤频率与年龄成正比增加。得出的结论是，震颤以及在“正常”老年人中经常出现的其他神经体征（例如所谓的原始反射），也应归入由于衰老过程本身而产生的现象组。
