AbstractParkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease that is a growing public health challenge. Estimates of the burden of PD have focused on data from high-income countries, with lower-income countries poorly described. We reviewed and examined the prevalence of PD reported by studies in low- to upper-middle-income countries. A systematic literature search was performed in the Medline/PubMed, Embase, LILACS, and Web of Science databases.

In a recent Brief Communication, Payami et al. 1 explored the impact of specific risk factors on the onset of Parkinson’s disease (PD), including the heavy use of pesticides in an underrepresented region of the United States, the Deep South. Further, they represented these associations through the population attributable fraction (PAF), which shows the percentage of preventable new PD cases if risk factors were eliminated.
