Epidemiological issues related to Parkinson’s disease in Romania

Abstract

The introduction of the advanced technologies into the medical field entails the increase in the average age of the population, fact which has as a major impact on the increase in the number of the medical disorders reported, cases which burden the medical system which is supposed to ensure medical assistance, at least of primary degree, to any particular situation. In this work, we bring forward the casuistry related to Parkinson’s disease both at the level of Romania and at the level of the Moldavia region in order to estimate the effort which must be made towards identifying the model of optimal management to be used in order to minimize human and material costs when approaching this medical disorder. Due to the high average age, the issues related to Parkinson’s disease become more important as the occurrence rate is particularly high, around 60-65 years.
