number of people that die in each country from parkinson's disease?!

It is very difficult to prepare a conclusive answer to this question especially for countries such as the US which stopped listing Parkinson's disease as a cause of death for many years, But just keep reading because there is a link with the answer provided.

It is only in recent years that PD has been listed - usually as a secondary cause because the primary cause is often Aspiration Pneumonia, Bronchitis, complications from falls which were initiated by side effects of Parkinson's disease. If the cause is a death associated with hip fracture, it would be helpful to know if the person also had PD. In the UK there appears to be more accurate information.

You can read a UK article in which there is a graph listing the primary and secondary cause of death from PD between 1967 and 1999 in England. In that article is the explanation. I hadn't seen this article before.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles…

For example, you can use this 2004 chart and as you scroll across the page you will see that with PD there were 6.1 deaths per 100,000 but you will also see that there is an influenza/pneumonia cluster with a higher percentage and some of those deaths were probably among PD patients.

It is important to realize that although the PD prevalence (the number of people with a condition at a given time - Prevalence combines newly diagnosed and already existing cases) has not increased, as the population grows, the incidence (new cases in a population over a defined time interval) does increase. This suggests that there is a fairly steady death rate. Another noteworthy issue is that new cases in a population over a defined time interval at diagnosis is improving and PD is being recognized at earlier ages, possibly due to increased awareness of symptoms or improved differential diagnoses. This means that treatment can begin earlier. Improved treatments and therapies started earlier in disease progression can impact the actual progression of the disease.

From the National Vital Statistics Reports published 6/11/2008, you will see that the death rate listed for Parkinson's disease in 2006 was 19,660 with the death rate being 6.6. The age adjusted death rates for 2006 were 6.3 and 2005 was 6.4 with a -1.6% change. Another source lists Parkinson's as .08% of all deaths in the US in 2005.

The next link is to the prevalence rate of PD worldwide - you would have to look at every country to find the mortality rate.

I think important information for comprehending the statistics will be found in the linked article below:
"The overall incidence of Parkinson's disease, based on several worldwide studies, is about 10-20 cases per 100,000 population per year. Prevalence estimates tend to vary, but the currently accepted figure is approximately 100-200 cases per 100,000 population... Prior to the introduction of levodopa (L-dopa), PD caused severe disability or death in 25% of patients within 5 years of onset, in 65% in the next 5 years, and in 89% of those who survived for 15 years. The mortality rate from PD was 3 times that of the general population matched for age, sex, and racial origin. With the introduction of L-dopa, the mortality rate dropped approximately 50%, and longevity was extended by several years"

Each country? That's a lot of countries.
I can tell you, though, that in the USofA in 1999, there were 14,593 reported deaths due to Parkinson's.
Seeing as that was 12 years ago, I'm sure that the number has decreased. However, the number will be higher in 3rd world countries, but may be lower in countries with less population.
