“Scientists have identified an emerging pattern of associations between SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) and Parkinson's disease. For example, the loss of smell is one of the most common symptoms reported in SARS-CoV-2 infection, but it is also an early symptom of Parkinson's disease, often preceding diagnosis by many years.”

“A recent study found that high exposure to PM2.5 increases the risk of developing Parkinson's disease by nearly 20 percent. Researchers conducted a population-based study of more than 21 million older adults living in the US.”

“Another randomized controlled trial found that high-intensity exercise (30 minutes per day, 3x per week for 6 months) in addition to standard care treatment (levodopa) slows disease progression for Parkinson's disease compared to levodopa alone.”

“Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid produced by gut microbes during the fermentation of dietary fiber. However, gut microbial composition and metabolic activity are altered in the setting of Parkinson's disease, likely playing a role in the disease's onset and progression.”

“Months later their brains had many alpha-synuclein aggregates in their brains that negatively affected their motor function. Additionally, gut bacteria have been shown to be significantly different between healthy people and individuals with Parkinson's disease.”

“Neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease). The following section elaborates on the mechanisms and biomarkers associated with the hallmarks of aging. Genomic instability "The principal drivers of genomic instability are defects in processes that modulate cell division.".”

“Approximately 1 percent of all adults over the age of 60 years lives with Parkinson's disease. Findings from a 2006 study suggest that blocking the action of tumor necrosis factor-alpha slows the progression of Parkinson's disease.”

“The aggregation of a protein called alpha-synuclein is thought to play a role in the death of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease. In a new study, T-cells from patients with Parkinson's mounted an immune response against a protein alpha-synuclein whereas immune cells from people without Parkinson's did not.”

“FTA: > People with Parkinson's disease benefit from exercise programs on stationary bicycles, with the greatest effect for those who pedal faster, according to a new study.”

“A recent study found that people with Parkinson's disease who experienced minor hallucinations exhibited altered brain wave activity. Researchers interviewed 75 people with Parkinson's disease to determine whether they experienced minor hallucinations.”
