Effects of essential tremor on longevity and mortality rates in families.

Essential Tremor (ET) is a common movement disorder characterized by action tremors, primarily affecting the hands and head. lthough previous studies have suggested potential links between ET and aging-related diseases, its relationship with longevity remains unclear, with conflicting evidence in the literature. To investigate this association, we analyzed data from 1,493 individuals across 145 families, encompassing both ET-positive (ET+) and ET-negative (ET-) participants.
