About this title

Synopsis:

Knowledge of the epidemiology of disease is becoming increasingly important for doctors to aid clinical decision making and understand the aetiology. This book by international specialists discusses the epidemiology of all the major neurological conditions, including schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, and dementias.

From the Back Cover:

A sound understanding of epidemiology is becoming increasingly important for all clinicians. The Epidemiology of Neurological Disorders shows how knowledge gained form population-based research is influencing and improving the everyday practice on neurology and psychiatry.

The epidemiology of all the major neurological conditions is discussed including:

• Schizophrenia
• Parkinson's disease
• Stroke
• Multiple sclerosis
• Head injury
• Dementias.

Written by a team of highly respected specialists from the UK, the USA, and Europe, each chapter follows a set format for ease of reference which covers geography, current trends, risk factors and ambiguous evidence.

The Epidemiology of Neurological Disorders will prove to be an essential reference for neurologists, trainees, general physicians, students, and neuroscientists.
