Rather, as part of an in-person neurological evaluation, each participant produced several handwriting samples, from which ET diagnoses were assigned. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt; There were 1,965 participants (76.7 \u00b1 6.9 years, range = 66\u2013102 years); 108 had ET [5.5%, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 4.5\u20136.5%]. Odds of ET were robustly associated with Hispanic ethnicity versus white ethnicity [odds ratio (OR) = 2.19, 95% CI = 1.03\u20134.64, p = 0.04] and age (OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.03\u20131.26, p = 0.01), i.e. with every 1 year advance in age, the odds of ET increased by 14%. Prevalence reached 21.7% among the oldest old (age \u226595 years). &lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/i&gt; This study reports a significant ethnic difference in the prevalence of ET. The prevalence of ET was high overall (5.5%) and rose markedly with age so that in the oldest old, more than 1 in 5 individuals had this disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000195691","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,1,26]],"date-time":"2009-01-26T14:24:49Z","timestamp":1232979889000},"page":"208-214","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":82,"title":["Prevalence of Essential Tremor in a Multiethnic, Community-Based Study in Northern Manhattan, New York, N.Y."],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Elan D.","family":"Louis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sujata P.","family":"Thawani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Howard F.","family":"Andrews","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,1,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038%2Fncpneuro0347"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000109805"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000110376"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fmds.870130105"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fmds.21349"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00415-006-0253-5"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212%2F01.WNL.0000161852.70374.01"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136%2Fjnnp.47.5.466"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.parkreldis.2005.01.002"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212%2F01.WNL.0000156157.97411.5E"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2466%2Fpms.1985.61.3f.1283"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000151523"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fmds.10376"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000054771"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001%2Farchneurol.2007.8"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212%2F01.wnl.0000310425.76205.02"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093%2Fbrain%2Fawm266"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136%2Fjnnp.62.1.10"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fana.410160303"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2F1531-8257%28199905%2914%3A3%3C456%3A%3AAID-MDS1011%3E3.0.CO%3B2-X"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2F1531-8257%28199905%2914%3A3%3C462%3A%3AAID-MDS1012%3E3.0.CO%3B2-V"},{"key":"ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00415-005-0700-8"},{"key":"ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fmds.20590"},{"key":"ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0404.1987.tb07903.x"},{"key":"ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093%2Fbrain%2F117.4.805"},{"key":"ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2FBF00713856"}],"container-title":["Neuroepidemiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/195691","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/195691","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T23:20:27Z","timestamp":1745450427000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000195691"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009]]},"references-count":26,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,3,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000195691","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0251-5350","1423-0208"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0251-5350","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0208","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009]]}}}
