Objective: To study the incidence of essential tremor depending on gender, age and debut of the disease in Uzbek nationality.
Background: Clinical manifestation of essential tremor is very similar to Parkinson’s disease. The clinical course of the disease differs from each other.
Method: 38 patients with ET were examined. Patients were aged 30 to 62 years (mean age 46.7±8.1 years). All patients underwent clinical and neurological studies. Patients were divided by gender, age and debut of the disease. All patients underwent a genealogical method of research.
Results: When we compared the patients with ET with the clinical form of the disease, there was a classic form in 26 patients (68.4%), an extrapyramidal form in 7 patients (18.4%) and a cerebellar form in 5 patients (13.2%). Compared with sex, patients reported that extrapyramidal and cerebral forms were less common in females than males. Compared to the mean age of patients, the mean age was 53.2±2.4 for males and 59.6±4.1 for females. At the time of analysis, the prevalence of disease was 55.4±4.1 years for the general population, 51.6±3.2 for males and 60.2±3.2 for females (p <0.05).
Conclusion: Essential tremor is more common in men than women and has an early debut. Based on the study of essential tremor, can be differentiated Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease often develops against the background of essential tremor. The classical form of essential tremor is more transmitted in an autosomal-dominant type.
