summary

Recently, I went to the old people's home to take care of the elderly. I found that it was inconvenient for every elderly person to move, and there were some illnesses and so on. At the beginning, I found an old man who often shivered. At first, I didn't feel anything. Gradually, I found that his symptoms were more serious. It should be Parkinson's disease. Now let's talk about whether Parkinson's is a genetic disease.

Is Parkinson's a genetic disease

First, although Parkinson's disease has a genetic predisposition. But most of the patients have no family history. Especially through the study of twins, there is no definite correlation between the disease and heredity. The explanation for heredity is that some genetic factors increase the susceptibility to Parkinson's disease. Familial Parkinson's disease is autosomal dominant inheritance, which can occur in every generation of some patients' families, and most of the patients begin in their youth.

Second: Parkinson's disease can make the patients' limbs abnormal and muscles stiff, which has a great impact on their daily life. Be handed down from age to age, and find that there are a few of Parkinson's patients who have inherited characteristics and familial characteristics. In the study of experts, the incidence rate of Parkinson's disease patients is two times that of the normal control group. If Parkinson's disease does not inherit, Parkinson disease will not pass the wrong genes from generation to generation. However, if someone in family is sick, the incidence rate of other family members will increase.

Third: for those with incidence rate of Parkinson's disease at home, it is necessary to do a good job in preventing Parkinson's disease, strengthen environmental protection and labor protection in real life, prevent and treat some diseases that may cause Parkinson syndrome, such as atherosclerosis and brain tumors. Actively prevent carbon monoxide, carbon disulfide, manganese, chloride exposure and poisoning, try to avoid the use of drugs, crack down on drug trafficking, drug abuse, and actively carry out healthy sports and entertainment activities among the elderly.

matters needing attention

Parkinson's patients should do some proper exercise every day, which is helpful for the recovery of patients' function. The patients have no dietary requirements, but the patients had better drink more water and eat some food to supplement the body energy. Patients can go to the doctor to know the degree of their illness.
