Increased Medical Comorbidities in Essential Tremor—A Wake-up Call?

Abstract

I read with great interest the article by Dai et al1 and was intrigued by data that demonstrated significant increases in the prevalence of numerous medical comorbidities in patients with essential tremor (ET). The authors reported that patients with ET had a higher number of comorbidities than non-ET patients (5.3 [3.2] vs 4.0 [3.3]).
