  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

The incidence, prevalence and regional distribu-tions of sporadic motor neuron disease (MND) from 1980 through 1989 were evaluated in collabora-tion with multiple neurological institutes in Hok-kaido island. Patients with sporadic MND were collected from three sources : 1) neurologist practicing in Hokkaido island, 2) sending inquiries to 620 major hospitals, 3) notification file of MND provided by Japanese Ministry of Welfare and Health.

Three hundred and eighty-nine patients with spo-radic MND were ascertained for this study. Of 389 patients, 238 patients were men and 151 patients were women, and the ratio of men to women was 1.6 : 1. The mean age of onset was 58.2±10.3 years old, 57.7±10.4 for men and 58.9±10.0 for women. Their clinical presentations were 303 patients with ALS, 52 patients were PBP and 34 patients were SPMA.

The crude incidence rate for both sexes combined for 1980 through 1989 was estimated as 0.69 per 100, 000 person-year. The age-and sex-adjusted inci-dence for men was 0.86 per 100,000 person-year (95% CI, 0.75 to 0.97) and that is higher than 0.53 per 100,000 person-year (95% CI, 0.45 to 0.61) for women. The average, crude prevalence rate from 1985 through 1989 was estimated as 2.25 per 100,000 person-year.

There are no overall trends of changing the pat-tern in incidence and prevalence of MND in Hok-kaido island, however the geographic distributionsof the incidence of MND according to towns and cities disclosed the presence of some relative clus-tering areas.

The further epidemiological study in Hokkaidoisland must be continued considering the characteristics of Hokkaido island such as many mineral mines and past epidemics of poliomyelitis.
