Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zv7jhn/amyotrophic) has announced the addition of the "Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Forecast in 9 Major Markets 2016-2026" report to their offering.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig's disease or motor neuron disease, is a rapidly progressive, fatal neurological disease in which upper and lower motor neurons degrade and eventually die. As motor function decreases, muscles weaken and waste; eventually the brain is no longer able to control autonomic functions such as breathing and heart rate.
This report provides the current prevalent population for ALS across 9 Major Markets (USA, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Brazil, Japan and India) split by gender and 5-year age cohort. Along with the current prevalence, the report also contains a disease overview of the risk factors, disease diagnosis and prognosis along with specific variations by geography and ethnicity.
Several of the main symptoms and co-morbidities of ALS have been quantified and presented alongside the overall prevalence figures. These sub-populations within the main disease are also included at a country level across the 10-year forecast snapshot.
Main symptoms and co-morbidities for ALS include:
Loss of speech
Depression
Dysphagia
Tongue twitch
Dementia (e.g. frontotemporal lobe dementia)
