No
cure, and neither the exactly cause known. However, there is
relationship between age and Parkinson’s diseases.
The
older got more diseases than younger ones. Not surprising that
Parkinson’s diseases is second place after aging relate diseases,
Alzheimer's.
The
second diseases after Alzheimer’s in
term of total patient number and
rate of diagnosed people per year.
Thus,
both Parkinson’s and Alzheimer's have the same biggest risk factor
for diseases development that is “aging.”
The
question then Why people
could
get
Parkinson’s diseases?
The answer may be:
1.
People getting old. Older ages vulnerable to the diseases.
2.
Aging causes neuron dies which has function to control movement.
Very
sad that around 26 cases in 100,000 population are diagnosed per year
in the last 3 decades.
Since
life expectancy is longer than previous decades, it is common to find
Parkinson’s diseases in a population in industry countries in
recent years.
