Anjum Khanna – More than 10 Billion people 
worldwide live with Parkinson’s disease (PD), its brain 
disorder that leads to shaking, stiffness, and difficulty 
with walking, balance, and coordination. There are 
many famous celebs who have been diagnosed by 
Parkinson’s disease  and also made their diagnosis

Muhammad Ali ( Boxer), George H.W. Bush ( president 
of united states), Billy Connolly ( stand up comedian), 
Neil Diamond (Singer and songwriter), Michael J. Fox 
(Actor and philanthropist) and many.
Men and females both can face Parkinson’s Disease, 
according to research PD affects about 50 percent more 
men than women. Most important risk factor is “Age”. 
The vast majority with Parkinson’s initially build up the 
sickness at about age 60, around 5 to 10 percent of 
individuals with Parkinson’s have “beginning stage” 
illness, which starts before the age of 50. Beginning stage 
types of Parkinson’s are frequently, yet not generally, 
acquired, and a few structures have been connected to 
specific gene mutations.
Causes of Parkinson’s Disease explained 
by Anjum Khanna
Usually Parkinson’s disease occurs when nerve cells, or 
neurons, in an area of the brain that controls movement 
become impaired and/or die. Normally, these neurons 
produce an important brain chemical which is known as 
dopamine. When the neurons die or become impaired, 
they produce less dopamine, which causes the movement 
problems of the body. Also the Parkinson’s affected 
patients lose the nerve endings that produce 
norepinephrine, the main chemical messenger of the 
sympathetic nervous system, which controls many  
functions of the body, such as heart rate and blood 
pressure and decreased movement of food through the 
digestive tract, etc.
