8. Egyptians rarely get Parkinson’s disease
The lowest rate of death from Parkinson’s disease can be found in Egypt (which ties with Thailand) at 0.12 per 100,000 population. Coming in at third and fourth from the bottom are Georgia and Singapore at 0.16, while the top four countries are Finland, Iceland, Senegal, and the United States at 4.66, 4.56, 4.55, and 4.51 per 100,000, respectively.
It’s not clear what these two very different lists tell us about the disparity between death rates for Parkinson’s, although one significant risk factor for the disease appears to be exposure to pesticides and chemicals used in metal processing, which corresponds to the prevalence of these contaminants in parts of the United States where the disease is most common.
