The South African Parkinson's Disease Study Collection.

Parkinson's disease (PD) incidence is increasing in sub-Saharan Africa. We recruited 687 individuals with PD from different ancestral groups across South Africa. More Afrikaner Europeans had early-onset PD than other ancestral groups. More men had PD than women, with a younger age at onset for men (56 years). © 2021 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
