there's a comment by a doctor that questions the biases in this study, similar to the questions Bob and Budgies have asked, about this being a representative sample either.

We need to collect and maintain better data about PWP to be able to answer questions like this. There's currrently a bill sitting in Congress that would set up a national database : National Neurological Disease Data Collection – H.R. 2595/S.425.
See the PAN website for more information on the bill and what we can all do about it.
