Parkinson's Attacking Diabetes


The patients with diabetes  affected by complications of Parkinson's disease threatened. Risk of disease that causes stiffness of the motion is most experienced diabetes who are still young.
Results of research published in the journal Diabetes Care adds scientific evidence about diabetes with Parkinson's disease. One of the studies say adults have diabetes are at risk of developing Parkinson's disease within 15 years compared with people who are not diabetic.
The team of researchers from Denmark say diabetes and Parkinson's disease may be caused by basically the same thing.
They compare 2000 adult patients with Parkinson's 10,000 people the same age but not with Parkinson's disease (control group).
In general, 6.5 percent of patients with Parkinson's have had diabetes for 2 years before they were diagnosed with a disease marked by tremors and muscle stiffness this. In comparison, only 5 percent of people from the control group who had diabetes for 2 years earlier.
The study also showed diabetes increased the risk threefold to suffer from Parkinson's. The results obtained after the researchers included factors of age, sex and smoking habits.
In general, more common in Parkinson's elderly age (60 years), but their diabetes is usually diagnosed Parkinson's at a younger age.
Despite a big risk, but researchers stressed that diabetes does not mean that people must get Parkinson's. For example, in the United States, the proportion of people suffering from Parkinson's to diabetes is only 0.8 percent and 0.5 percent in people who are not diabetes.
How does diabetes lead to Parkinson's itself has not been known clearly. But researchers suspect inflammation (inflammation) around the body will cause damage to cells. Another factor is genetic. Source: HealthDay News
