A clinical and epidemiological study on ALS was conducted in the province of Parma, Italy, in the period 1960-1980. A total of 78 cases was collected from hospital records. The average annual incidence was 0.93 per 100,000 with no difference between rural and urban areas. On prevalence day (October 24, 1971) a prevalence rate of 2.27 was found. Mean age at onset was 59 years, with no sex difference. In 70% of cases the onset was between 50 and 70 years, this datum being statistically significant (p less than 0.001). Mean duration of the disease was 30.4 +/- 20 months, with no difference for sex and age at onset. A comparison was then made between two decades (1961-70 vs 1971-80), in order to verify the clinical impression of a worsening of some ALS parameters in recent years. Although statistical evaluation did not show any significant data, a tendency to a worsening of some parameters of the disease may be postulated.
