The total South Korean population was derived from resident registration data (in December of each year). Estimated annual incidence in each year=(new HD registration cases)/105×(total South Korean population in each year). Estimated annual cumulative incidence from the beginning to the corresponding year=(total number of new cases during the study period)/105×(average total South Korean population). HD, Huntington’s disease.
