Parkinson's, Neurodegenerative disease

Parkinson’s disease cases expected to double worldwide by 2050
Parkinson's disease cases are projected to double globally by 2050, reaching 25 million individuals, according to a recent modeling study published in BMJ. Population aging (increasing median age) emerged as a primary driver of this increase,
Cases of Parkinson's disease set to reach 25 million worldwide by 2050, study suggests
By 2050, there will be 25.2 million people living with Parkinson's disease worldwide (a 112% increase from 2021), largely due to population aging, suggests a modeling study published by The BMJ.
Study links ITSN1 gene variants to increased Parkinson's disease risk
