Epidemiology of Parkinson’s Disease Among Chinese Canadians in the Greater Toronto Area: A 15-Year Retrospective Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
= 0.041). These findings underscore the importance of future research on ethnic variations in PD. On presente les resultats une étude rétrospective, d’une durée de 15 ans, qui visait à comparer l’épidémiologie de la maladie de Parkinson (MP) entre la population chinoise et la population non chinoise dans la région du Grand Toronto. L’Âge moyen des sujets au moment de la pose du diagnostic, dans la cohorte de 88 patients atteints de la MP, était significativement plus bas chez les Chinois (n = 36) (67,3 ± 12,6 ans) que chez les non-Chinois (72,1 ± 9,2 ans) (p = 0,039). Par contre, le taux d’obésité était plus élevé chez les sujets non chinois que chez les sujets chinois (p = 0,0004). Enfin, une fréquence accrue des fluctuations de la motricité (p = 0,028) et un usage étendu de l’amantadine (p = 0,041) ont été observés chez les patients chinois comparativement aux patients non chinois. Ces résultats soulignent l’importance de poursuivre la recherche sur les variations ethniques observées dans l’épidémiologie de la MP.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
