Parkinson’s Disease Overview

What Causes Parkinson's Disease?

Little is known about the causes of Parkinson’s disease, but researchers have noted a few consistencies throughout their studies. Certain genes seem to play a role in cases where the individual diagnosed has relatives with the same condition, which suggests there may be some type of connection between genetics and Parkinson’s disease. An individual's environment may also play a role in the potential development of Parkinson's disease, as well as age, gender, and exposure to certain toxins. Men over sixty years old are the most likely to develop this condition.
