Parkinson’s Disease Statistics in Asia

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a growing concern in Asia due to aging populations. Here are some key statistics:

Prevalence:
- In Asia, the estimated prevalence of PD is around 51–200 per 100,000 people, with the numbers rising with age.
- East Asia, particularly Japan and China, has some of the highest rates due to their older populations. Japan’s prevalence is estimated at around 180-200 per 100,000 people.
Incidence:
- Asia sees an increasing incidence rate, largely due to longer life expectancy. PD cases are expected to double by 2040 as populations age.
Country-specific Data:
- China has around 3 million PD patients, accounting for almost half of the global burden.
- India reports a prevalence rate between 70 and 120 per 100,000 people.
- Japan and South Korea have rising numbers, driven by their rapidly aging populations.
Risk Factors:
- Aging, genetic predisposition, environmental factors (pesticides, rural living), and lack of exercise contribute to higher risk in Asian countries.
Challenges:
- Limited access to healthcare, underdiagnosis, and lack of awareness are significant barriers to effective treatment in many Asian countries.
