Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have conducted the largest study of the prevalence of Parkinson's disease in the United States. The color scale indicates the number of Medicare recipients with Parkinson’s disease for each 100,000. The scale runs from dark green, 1,175 per 100,000, to dark red, 13,800 per 100,000.
People with Parkinson's disease are more likely to be found in the Northeast and Midwest than other parts of the country, and whites and Hispanics are more likely to have it than blacks and Asians.
