Introduction[edit | edit source]

Approximately 10 million people around the world are currently living with Parkinson’s Disease.[1] Meta-analysis of worldwide data reveals that the prevalence of Parkinson’s Disease increases with age, quadrupling from a level of almost 0.5%  in the seventh decade of life to approximately 2% for those over the age of 80.[2] Parkinson’s is associated with the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra of the midbrain, and it is typified clinically by resting tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia along with a number of non-motor features such as anosmia, sleep behavior disorder, depression, autonomic dysfunction, and cognitive dysfunction.[3] The etiology of this disease is not fully understood, but there is some combination of environmental and genetic factors presumed to be causative.[3] Among these are various lifestyle factors such as tobacco use, dietary intake, and physical activity.[4][5]
