Dear Teo,
I believe you are correct -- by age 60, the incidene of PD has greatly increased.
Researcers disagree about the exact percent, but about 2 out of > 100 persons seems to be agreed upon.
And yes, persons with PD often do not die of PD itself, but instead of other diseases -- heart disease, liver or kidney problems, or complications of PD such as aspiration pneumonia.>>
You must have done a great deal of research and study, and that is a very good idea. Self-education regarding PD is a great step forward in fighting the disease and maintaining good health.
Best regards,
Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD
