Global Parkinson's disease mortality varies significantly by country, with Iceland standing at the highest at 9.9 units per hundred thousand women in 2024, closely followed by the United States at 9.5. Countries like Greece and Austria have moderate rates at 7.3 and 7.1 respectively. Notable increases in rates were seen in the United States, Lithuania, and Costa Rica showing positive trends over the past year. Contrarily, Iceland saw a substantial decrease of 7.85% from the previous year. Over the last five years, a consistent average increase was observed in the United States and Brazil, signaling a trend that requires further investigation.
Looking forward, it will be crucial to observe shifts in mortality rates in nations with recent spikes such as Costa Rica and Colombia, as well as countries like Peru and Iceland which have seen declines. Investigating healthcare improvements and lifestyle changes could yield insights into the factors influencing these trends. Understanding these patterns will be vital for developing targeted public health strategies to mitigate Parkinson's disease mortality globally.
