INTRODUCTION: Huntington disease (HD) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system characterized by unwanted choreatic movements, behavioral and psychiatric disturbances and dementia.
OBJECTIVE: Describe the geographical, age and sex distribution of HD in the Valencia Region (VR) and determine its prevalence and mortality.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional study for the period 2010-2018. Confirmed cases of HD were identified through the Rare Disease Information System of the VR. Sociodemographic characteristics were described, and the prevalence and mortality rate were obtained.
RESULTS: 225 cases were identified, 50.2% women. 52.0% lived in the province of Alicante. 68.9% were verified by their clinical diagnosis. The median age at diagnosis was 54.1 years, 54.7 years in men and 53.0 years in women. The prevalence in 2018 was 1.97/100,000 inhabitants (95%; CI: 0.39-2.37), showing a no significant increasing trend, overall and by sex. 49.8% died, 51.8% men. The median age at death was 62.7 years, being lower in men than in women. The mortality rate in 2018 was 0.32/100,000 inhabitants (95%; CI: 0.32-2.28), with no statistically significant differences.
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence obtained was within the range estimated by Orphanet (1-9/100,000). A difference between sexes was observed in the diagnosis age. Men are the group with the highest mortality and the earliest age of death. It is a disease with high mortality with an average of 6.5 years between diagnosis and death.
