## Abstract Essential tremor (ET) still remains a clinical diagnosis. Nonetheless, it is misdiagnosed in 30 to 50% of cases. There are a number of areas of diagnostic uncertainty. One of these is isolated head tremor, on which published data are limited and at variance. We studied the prevalence of
## Abstract Essential tremor (ET) is a late‐life neurological disease. Mild cognitive deficits as well as an association with prevalent dementia have been reported in recent case–control studies. We determined whether ET was associated with an increased risk of incident dementia. In a population‐ba
## Abstract To investigate the possible association between essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson's disease (PD) we conducted a prospective clinical and epidemiological study in a population of similar genetic background. The first‐degree relatives of 303 PD probands and 249 controls from Crete were
## Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) is inversely associated with smoking cigarettes. Despite long‐standing clinical links between PD and essential tremor (ET), there are surprisingly few data on smoking in ET. We studied whether smoking cigarettes is inversely associated with ET. Using a populatio
