Intan explained, Parkinson’s mostly affects people aged 50 years and over. And it’s more common in men.
People with this disease experience a decrease in dopamine production due to nerve cells. So the body loses control of motion.
Intan added, there are several main factors that underlie someone can be infected with Parkinson’s.
“Starting from genes, age, heredity exposed to poisons, to the environment,” explained Intan
People with Parkinson’s, said Intan, will experience a decrease in reflex ability. Some of them, wink.
If you experience these symptoms, or someone close to you, immediately consult a doctor immediately.
