Abstract

Abstract: Neurological diseases have become the leading cause of disability and the second leading cause of death globally. The prevalence of most neurological diseases such as stroke, dementia, and Parkinson’s disease increases sharply with age. A proper understanding of the epidemiological characteristics of common neurological diseases in the elderly can help meet this challenge actively. This article reviews the prevalence, incidence and mortality rates of several chronic neurological diseases commonly seen in elderly patients, such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, other forms of dementia, cerebral small vessel disease and sleep disorders.

Key words: Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, cerebral small vessel disease, sleep disorders, aged, epidemiology
