These are my disclosures for the talk, none of which are related to today's lecture.

My objective for today's talk will be to review the clinical presentation with a focus on motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease at various stages in the disease process. Most of the presentation will be on motor symptoms, but I will talk a little bit about early non-motor symptoms.

Just a little bit about Parkinson's disease epidemiology for backgrounds. About a million Americans are thought to have Parkinson's disease and about 10 million people worldwide have Parkinson's disease. The annual incidence in high-income countries is about 160 per 100000 for people over the age of 65. The prevalence of Parkinson's disease varies from country to country, so Europe, the Americas, and Asia are higher than Africa, for example, and men are affected more than women.

There is some data that shows that the number of people with Parkinson's disease in the United States and in the world is growing. On this slide, the graph shows data from 1990, where it was thought that about 2.6 million people had Parkinson's disease. In 2015, it was thought that 6.3 million had Parkinson's and it's estimated that over 17 million will have Parkinson's disease by the year 2040. There are a variety of reasons for this estimation, including increased longevity, increased industrialization in various parts of the world, and others.
