   Does atypical Parkinsonism increase mortality in patients with PD?

   • The mortality in patients with PD is estimated to be increased approximately 1.5 times [ 3] and the mortality risk in patients with atypical parkinsonism is even greater [ 4 ]. Studies presenting mortality ratios are important to uncover risk factors of early death in parkinsonism, but they can be difficult to interpret in terms of prognosis.

   Does parkinsonism affect life expectancy?

   • The mean age of our study population was 65.0 (SD 9.7) years and 57.6% were women. During an average follow-up of 12 years, 297 participants were diagnosed with parkinsonism. The mean age at parkinsonism diagnosis was 78.6 (SD 8.1) years. Once diagnosed with parkinsonism, the life expectancy was lower than matched controls across a wide age range.

   The estimated prevalence is about 5 per 100,000 individuals, [ 10 – 12] and the reported annual incidence is 5.3 per 100,000 in men and women between the ages of 50 to 99. [ 13] However, these estimates are likely low due to under-recognition and misdiagnosis.

   Patients with atypical parkinsonism have symptoms like PD, including resting tremors, slowed movement, stiffness, gait difficulty and postural instability, but have additional symptoms and signs that are not typically present in PD. This has led to the commonly used term “parkinsonism plus syndrome.”

   The average age of onset is typically in the sixties (average age of 63 to 66 years), and the mean survival from diagnosis is reported between 5 to 8 years. Hallmarks of the disease include prominent, early postural instability, unexplained falls, vertical supranuclear palsy, and progressive dementia.
