Abstract

Parkinson's disease is the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting adults and older adults and is predicted to increase over time as the population ages. As a result of a pathophysiological loss or degeneration of dopaminergic neurons of substantia nigra in the midbrain. Alzheimer's disease (AD) was first described by dr. Alois Alzheimer as a secretive and slow progressive neurodegenerative disorder of the human central nervous system (CNS). Our aim is that we are looking at all demographic data of patients with a diagnosis of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. The study included 945 patients who were hospitalized in the Neurology Department of Skopje Clinical Hospital for the period from January 2014 to January 2024, of whom 772 patients met all the conditions for the study. The statistical program for social sciences (SPSS) version 25.0 with license was used for data analysis. Based on the diagnosis and gender test, the results show a significantly significant presence of men diagnosed with Parkinson's with 420 patients, while in women a significantly lower presence with 288 patients. In conclusion, this work can contribute to helping health professionals design more effective strategies that can help to care and support patients who are affected by neurodegenerative diseases.
