Prevalence study of primary dystonia in Iceland
Abstract In Iceland, the crude prevalence for all types of primary dystonia was 37.1/10 5 (confidence interval, 30.4–44.9). Focal dystonia had the highest prevalence (31.2/10 5 ), followed by segmental (3.1/10 5 ), multifocal (2.4/10 5 ) and generalized dystonia (0.3/10 5 ). Cervical dystonia was th...

The male:female ratio for all patients was 1:1.9 ( P = 0.0007), and females outnumbered males in all subtypes except oromandibular dystonia.
