Global study finds early-onset Parkinson's disease burden doubled among younger adults since 1990
By
Hugo Francisco de Souza
Summary
A global analysis of GBD 2021 data covering 204 countries and territories found that early-onset Parkinson's disease burden among people aged 20-49 more than doubled from 1990 to 2021. Age-standardized incidence, prevalence, and disability rates rose globally, with higher burden among males, rapid growth in middle and high-middle SDI regions, and moderate ecological correlations with pesticide use. The study highlights widening geographic and sex-based disparities and points to environmental factors requiring deeper investigation.
