Parkinson's Disease A study conducted by several researchers from the University of Oxford and various other research facilities in the United Kingdom has linked type 2 diabetes to Parkinson's disease. The mechanism of this connection has not yet been clarified. The study, published in June 2018 in the medical journal Neurology, included… 2,017,115 people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and 6,173,208 individuals without diabetes.

Participants with type 2 diabetes with complications had a 49 percent higher risk of developing the disease, and participants aged 25 to 44 had more than three times the odds. The researchers speculated that participants with genes for type 2 diabetes might also have genes for Parkinson's disease, or some mechanism involved in causing type 2 diabetes might also cause the added disease. More research is needed. Abo...
