The incidence of Parkinson's disease is increasing in sub-Saharan Africa, with more Afrikaner Europeans having early-onset PD. More men have PD than women, with men having a younger age at onset (56 years).
Parkinson's disease (PD) incidence is increasing in sub-Saharan Africa. We recruited 687 individuals with PD from different ancestral groups across South Africa. More Afrikaner Europeans had early-onset PD than other ancestral groups. More men had PD than women, with a younger age at onset for men (56 years).
