I got question 5 wrong too. All others were correct. This must be a typo.

Half the population does not have pd, definitely a typo.

I have written to the Every Day Health to let them know of their error...no response today.
We YO are unique. I may seem there are a lot of us, but I was told by a MDS recently who made a presentation to the leaders of support groups that we are still very much in the minority. The question I got wrong was #5, How common is Parkinson's Disease: I said, "Common," which is CORRECT. Their answer is "1/2 of the population", wich is very incorrect. Since we have no central PD registry, it is pure guesswork as to how many PWPs there are in the USA and the world. http://www.everydayhealth.com/publicsite/index.aspx?puid=855F5078-E74F-489C-A1BC-F... Parkinson's disease affects about 500,000 people in the United States, with approximately 50,000 new cases diagnosed each year. It usually occurs in middle age, typically beginning around age 60. However, about 5% of patients have early onset Parkinson's disease and are younger than 40 years old when symptoms begin. Internationally, Parkinson's disease affects about 1 to 2 of every 1,000 people. It affects Europeans and North Americans more often than Asians or Africans. It is more common in men than in women. ALSO: Demographics PD is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, second only to Alzheimer's disease in the number of people affected. Estimates suggest that approximately 750,000 Americans have PD. It affects older people much more than younger, and indeed, old age is the single greatest risk factor for PD. The average age at diagnosis is 62. Onset before age 40 is extremely rare. Men are slightly more likely to be affected than women.
