Abstract

Parkinson’s disease is the 2nd most common neurodegenerative disease among elderly people. Nowadays, in Europe there are more then 1.2 million people injured with this disease and their number is growing steadily.

Aim. The study of main etiological factors which determine the origin of Parkinson’s disease and its prevalence, as well as determination of the average costs level for Parkinson's disease treatment.

Methods. Content analysis, analytical and statistical methods of analysis.

Results. Etiological factors influencing on Parkinson's disease development, such as heredity, environmental impact, pesticides, bacterial and viral infections, as well as industrial toxic substances, were determined. Among the surveyed countries, the largest number of patients with Parkinson's disease was found in the United States and Hungary, while the largest average cost - in the UK and the US.

Conclusion. In general, the indexes of the number of patients and average costs among surveyed countries are quite unequal and require further research
