"I’ve got no problem accepting the diagnosis. With time I’ve taken to heart my 94-year-old father’s attitude to the way the organism gradually surrenders: ‘I use whatever works’".

A new study predicts that Parkinson's cases will rise worldwide by 112% by 2050, jumping from nearly 12 million cases to 25.2 million. In the U.S., diagnoses are estimated to rise by up to 60%, with approximately 90,000 new cases diagnosed annually.

Reasons for the Increase:
Aging Population:
.
The primary driver of the increase is the growing proportion of older adults in the population, as age is a major risk factor for Parkinson's.

Other Factors:
.
While an aging population is the most significant factor, other contributing factors include increased industrialization, urbanization, and environmental pollution, including pesticide exposure.
Improved Awareness:
.
Improved awareness and diagnosis may also be contributing to the increase in reported cases.

Global Implications:
The Global Burden of Disease study predicts that the prevalence of Parkinson's will increase in all 21 regions globally, with significant variations among them.
The study also projects that the prevalence of Parkinson's will increase in all countries and territories from 2021 to 2050.

is there anything that you aren't skeered of?

Hot take...The idea that everyone should have blood pressure reading of 120/80 no matter their age is likely the main culprit. As we age the blood thickens. Blood pressure increases naturally to keep a steady supply of oxygen to the brain. When medications dropped the pressure significantly, it leads to oxygen deprivation to the brain and eventually dementia/Alzheimer's, etc. BIG PHARMA is always the biggest killer. shock. All the rest of that shit you posted is nonsense.
