Common Causes of Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease is primarily caused by the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. Here are some key points:
- Genetic Factors: Certain genetic mutations can increase the risk of Parkinson’s, though they are not the sole cause.
- Environmental Factors: Exposure to toxins, such as pesticides or heavy metals, may contribute to the disease’s development.
- Age: The risk of Parkinson’s increases with age, with most cases occurring in people over 60.
- Family History: Having a close relative with Parkinson’s can raise one’s likelihood of developing the condition.
- Neurodegeneration: The loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain leads to the characteristic motor symptoms of Parkinson’s.
