Abstract
105 patients with motor neuron disease (MND) from the Provinces of Padua and Venice were evaluated over an 8-year period (1972-1979). Average annual age-adjusted incidence rates rose from 0.49/100,000/year in 1972-1973 to 0.82/100,000/year in 1978-1979. Our epidemiologic survey showed a higher incidence in sparsely populated areas (1.7/100,000/year). A case-control study of 25 patients with MND revealed a statistically significant association with previous fractures (p < 0.01). © 1983 S. Karger AG, Basel.File in questo prodotto:
