on figures indicating that the
average age Of onset of parkin-
sonism gradually advanced from
81 to SO between the 1920's and
1950's. These figures were pre-
sented as evidence that nearly
all cases Of parktns onism preva-
lent today resulted from an cpl
demic Of sleeping sickness be-
tween 1917 and 1926.
The relationship of the epi-
demtc to the incidence ofparkin-
sontsm has never been fully docu-
mented, Roger C. Duvoisin, MD,
Melvin D. Yahr, Md, Morton
D. Schweitzer, Ph.D., and H.
Houston Merritt, Md, New York
City, wrote In the current
Archives of Neurology, published
by the American Medical Asso-
citation.
Studies prior to the epidemic
indicated the mean age of on
set Of parkinsonism was between
81 and So and was extremely
rare before 40, the authors said.
Another study indicated that the
mean age of onset dropped to
36 during the 192o's due to a
large number Of young persons
who developed Parkinson-like
syndrome as an aftermath Of the
sleeping sickness epidemic.
These cases comprised about
two-thirds of all cases of parkin-
sonism at that time, the authors
said. The new syndrome ap-
parently continued to appear, they
said, and represented about half
OF all parkinsonism patients be-
tween 1880 and 1912
The Columbia group reviewed
case records Of all patients with
parkinsonism at Columbia Pres
byterian Medical Center during
1862 and found the mean age of
onset for 166 whose Illness be-
gan from 1850 through 1862 was
Sc.
These findings indicate that
parkinsontsm had its usual onset
In middle life from the time 1t
was first recognized by James
Parkinson In 1877 until the cpl
demtc 100 years later, the
authors said. The epidemic then
occurred over period Of about
10 years and left In its wake a
sufficient number of individuals
with Parkinson-like syndromes
to depress for several decades
the mean age Of onset Of parkin-
sonism, they said.
With the passage Of time and
a marked decrease In sleeping

sickness. they said, there was o
gradual rise in the mean age OF
onset Of all types Of parkinson
ism. The study of the 1862 pa
tients indicates that few II any
new cases of parkinsonism fol-
lowing sleeping sickness have
developed In the past decade
and that all, or nearly all, park
insonism Of recent onset repre-
sents the original form of the
disease, they said.
Consequently, they said, the
mean age of onset has now re-
turned to the range recorded be-
fore the epidemic.
The end Of the epidemic and
the gradual aging Of its sur
vivors might be expected to re-
duce the overall prevalence of
parktnsonism, the authors added.
However, they said, because of
the steady increase In longevity
in the present century, individ-
uals who would have died before

years ago are now surviving to
