What are the causes of Parkinson's disease?

I believe that most men have heard of a very strange disease in their daily lives. The name of this disease is Parkinson's disease. Most of the time, it will occur in men. Once men suffer from Parkinson's disease, it will affect the quality of life. Although it is only the hands that shake at the beginning, the whole body may shake in the end. Parkinson's disease will cause hand tremors during the patient's attack. In severe cases, the patient will not be able to hold things and will be paralyzed all over. The causes of Parkinson's syndrome are mainly due to aging, genetic factors, environmental factors, excessive fatigue when young, and severe physical strain. These are the main causes of Parkinson's syndrome. Active conditioning is required in normal times, and appropriate methods of treatment should be chosen.

The main causes of Parkinson's disease in men are:

1. Age factors: Parkinson's disease in men is a relatively common disease among middle-aged and elderly people. The prevalence rate gradually increases with age. For example, the prevalence rate for people over 55 years old is 1%, and it is about 2% for people over 65 years old.

2. Possible related factors: Epidemiological studies conducted in Beijing, Shanghai and Xi'an show that the prevalence of Parkinson's disease among mental workers is higher than that among non-mental workers. Therefore, it is speculated that the onset of Parkinson's disease in men may be related to long-term mental stress, lack of physical activity and high-fat diet.

3. Genetic factors: Studies have found that male Parkinson's disease tends to cluster in some families. About 40% of male Parkinson's disease patients have a family history, and it is an incompletely penetrant autosomal dominant inheritance. In the family of male Parkinson's patients, one or more relatives can often be found also suffering from male Parkinson's disease. Some studies have also found that young male Parkinson's patients have a greater genetic tendency, and 14% of male Parkinson's patients have a positive family history.

4. Environmental factors: The occurrence of Parkinson's disease in men may be related to the living environment, especially pesticides, metals and industrial solvents, but so far no definite environmental toxins have been found. In recent years, research results on the common etiology of Parkinson's disease in men have shown that they emphasize the possible interactions between environmental factors, lifestyle and genetic susceptibility.

Does Parkinson's disease shorten your life?

Through a large number of cases, it can be seen that Parkinson's disease is not closely related to mortality. However, when the mortality rate of various severe cases with long course of illness and severe condition is analyzed together with common Parkinson's disease, it is still about twice that of ordinary elderly people, indicating that the treatment of severe Parkinson's disease is still an important research topic at present. Patients with late-stage Parkinson's disease mainly die from pneumonia, which is closely related to their "akinetic state" and "medullary palsy". In addition, the cause of death of Parkinson's disease patients is closely related to cerebrovascular disease.

Does Parkinson's disease affect how long people live? This is one of the most pressing questions people want to know when they learn about Parkinson's disease. However, with the continuous improvement of the quality of life and the continuous development of medicine today, Parkinson's disease has little impact on life expectancy. We no longer have to worry that its occurrence will lead to a reduction in life expectancy, but even so we still have to take active treatment measures.
