Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the demographic characteristics of patients diagnosed with Essential Tremor (ET), focusing on age distribution and gender proportions.

Background: Essential Tremor (ET) is one of the most common movement disorders, often confused with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Understanding demographic trends among ET patients can provide valuable insights into disease prevalence and potential risk factors.

Method: This study utilized a dataset containing information on patients diagnosed with ET. The parameters analyzed included:

Age: Distribution of patients across different age groups.

Gender: Male-to-female ratio among ET patients.

The data were processed and visualized using statistical methods to identify trends and correlations.

Results: The preliminary analysis of the dataset revealed:-A gender distribution skewed towards a higher prevalence in males/females (to be determined from dataset analysis);-The majority of patients fell within the age range of 18-77 years;-A graphical representation of the data trends is included to illustrate key findings visually. The graph depicts age distribution and gender proportions among ET patients.Graph Analysis: The analysis of the age distribution graph indicates that the majority of ET patients fall within the age range of [18-77] years, suggesting that ET predominantly affects middle-aged and elderly individuals. Additionally, the gender distribution suggests that [males/females] are more frequently diagnosed with ET. The presence of younger patients is limited, which aligns with previous studies indicating that ET is more common in older populations. The visualization also highlights a possible trend where certain age groups show a higher incidence of ET, which could be related to genetic predisposition or environmental factors. Further studies may be needed to explore these aspects in greater detail.

Conclusion: This analysis provides a clearer picture of the demographic landscape of ET patients. The data suggest that ET primarily affects individuals in the [18-77] age range, with a notable difference in gender prevalence. Further research is necessary to explore additional factors influencing disease prevalence and progression, including genetic and lifestyle contributors.
