Regional changes in the prevalence of Parkinson’s disease over a ten-year period in the state of Texas
Outpatient diagnoses of PD increased substantially from 2012 to 2022. Spatial distribution of PD risk evolved over the decade; such that risk for PD was greatest in the southwestern region of Texas in 2022 compared to all other areas. Prevalence trends in Texas mirror global trends for PD and should inform prevention and intervention strategies in the future.
