These are the statistics for the years 1986 through 1991: Deaths attributed to Parkinson's Disease (332). Please note that even though the total number of deaths per year increases, (as does the total numbers of population) the rate of increase between the years diminishes. I hope that means we are taking better care of ourselves, and that maybe the medication we have now, is really helping.
