Perspectives on Parkinson’s Disease Prevention
Description
Parkinson’s disease is one of the most rapidly increasing neurological disorders worldwide. This increase reflects in part reduced mortality, with more members of the population living to the age of Parkinson’s disease risk. But other factors likely contribute. Understanding these other determinants paves the way to improved treatment and strategies for prevention.
The presentation will focus on why Parkinson’s disease (PD) is becoming increasingly common and what factors may contribute to a person developing the disease.
Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of why Parkinson’s disease is increasing worldwide, the environmental and genetic factors that may contribute to risk, and the potential for prevention.
