SOCIAL HEALTH & PD
We surveyed over 1500 people with Parkinson's disease. Of all the variables in the study, loneliness was the single strongest predictor of PD progression. Friendships, not tremor, predicted one's quality of life.
Not all therapies come in the form of a pill or procedure. Reach out to your community, ask for help, and be of service to others.
FOOD CHOICES & PD
We surveyed over 1500 people with Parkinson's disease. The more people consumed the items in green, the fewer symptoms they reported over time. The more they consumed the items in red, the greater they rated the symptom severity.
EXERCISE & PD
We surveyed over 1500 people with Parkinson's disease and inquired about their exercise habits and their symptoms. The more days per week people reported exercising, the fewer symptoms they reported over time. The benefit of exercise was only statistically significant if people were doing at least 3 days/week. People that identified as overweight reported greater symptom severity.
