People with Parkinson's disease can live a very long time, and the life expectancy varies based on individual problems and other medical issues. With the average age of onset of symptoms being around 60 years of age, life expectancy may be anywhere from 15-20 years if no other major health issues exist. Younger onset people often have longer life spans as well.
In 2013 PD was present in 53 million people and resulted in about 103,000 deaths globally. Parkinson's disease typically occurs in people over the age of 60, of which about one percent are affected. Males are more often affected than females. When it is seen in people before the age of 40 or 50, it is called young onset PD. The average life expectancy following diagnosis is between 7 and 14 years. The disease is named after the English doctor James Parkinson, who published the first detailed description in An Essay on the Shaking Palsy, in 1817.
