Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects an estimated one million Americans including men and women of all ages and races, though it is slightly more common in men. Parkinson’s is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, with age being the main risk factor. There is no cure, but there are many excellent symptomatic treatments.
