How long can Parkinson's disease last

First: everyone's disease progress is not the same, individual difference is very big, most patients can continue to work normally within a few years of onset, but there are also a few patients in a few years of rapid progress of disability, after reasonable treatment, most patients' symptoms can be well controlled, some patients can still maintain good function for 15 ~ 20 years

Second: new research suggests that exercising at least 2.5 hours a week may help maintain the quality of life in Parkinson's patients. For this reason, the researchers recommend exercising at least 2.5 hours a week

Third, the study found that patients with Parkinson's disease who had at least 2.5 hours of physical activity per week (as long as they could exercise 2.5 hours per week during the follow-up) had slower decline in health-related quality of life (HRQL) and motor function than those who exercised less than 2.5 hours
