Parkinson's: Later Diagnosis, Earlier Death Oct. 4, 2010 -- Parkinson’s disease is not considered fatal, but people with Parkinson’s have a shorter life expectancy than the general population. Now new research provides clues as to why some patients die sooner than others. Researchers in Denmark closely followed the disease progression of more than 200 patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s.

- In other words, over a period of 8 years, after having had Parkinson’s for over 9 years, on average, when the study began, just over half (54.5%; 122/224) developed dementia. About the same number (56.7%; 127) had died.

Parkinson's disease Parkinson's disease (PD) is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system. The symptoms generally come on slowly over time. Early in the disease, the most obvious are shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement, and difficulty with walking. Thinking and behavioral problems may also occur. Dementia becomes common in the advanced stages of the disease.

A systematic review shows that sleep attacks occur in 13.0% of patients with Parkinson's disease on dopaminergic medications.arkinson's disease is more common in older people, with most cases occurring after the age of 50; when it is seen in young adults, it is called young onset PD (YOPD). The main motor symptoms are collectively called parkinsonism, or a parkinsonian syndrome. The disease can be either primary or secondary.

- Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a degenerative neurological disorder. The cause behind it is unknown, both genetic and environmental factors are involved. Through better health and more awareness, the best thing to do to delay the disease is HITT (High-Intensity Interval Training). Diet and sleep are also important. Rock Steady Boxing is one type of HITT for Parkinson's. While more Young Onset Parkinson Disease (YOPD) ages 21-50 seem to be diagnosed today, it is unknown if more cases are occurring, or more awareness in the medical field of YOPD. Thirty years ago it was not uncommon for doctors to consider PD something that only affected older people.
