Causes of Parkinson's disease

summary

Grandfather is a patient with Parkinson's disease. At the beginning, his hands trembled. We don't know why. We thought it was because of old age. Later, the symptoms became more and more serious, so we went to the hospital for examination. It turned out that this was Parkinson's disease. Let's talk about the causes of Parkinson's disease!

Causes of Parkinson's disease

One reason: aging. The incidence rate of Parkinson's disease is the most easily affected by the elderly. Aging is one of the causes of Parkinson's disease, because the incidence of Parkinson's disease is increasing with age. Especially in the age of 60-65, the incidence rate is the highest.

Second, environmental factors. Under the influence of environmental factors, Parkinson's disease will become more and more serious. Some chemicals similar to MPTP in the environment may be one of the pathogenic factors of PD. So the environment is a very important part of the factors that affect the basic life of our body. We should take good care of our living environment.

The third reason is genetic factor. More and more attention has been paid to the role of genetic factors in the pathogenesis of PD. Since the discovery of the first Parkinson's disease pathogenic gene α - synuclein (Park1), at least six pathogenic genes have been associated with familial Parkinson's disease.
