Specialists have carried out studies on this disease and often find that it occurs more in older men than in older women ("Parkinson's Disease" -Mayo, 2014 ). There are many things people can do to better understand the disease and learn how to adjust their personal lives to improve their health. Detecting symptoms and acting quickly is a key first step to fighting the disease and becoming stronger. Learning as much as you can about Parkinson's disease, its treatment and symptoms can also be a big help. When the disease is diagnosed, talking with family, friends and making a plan will greatly help overcome Parkinson's disease.
