According to the Parkinson’s Foundation, a new study estimates that nearly 90,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease each year. This represents a steep 50% increase from the previous estimate of 60,000 diagnoses per year. Johns Hopkins neurologist Liana Rosenthal reveals what is behind this increase as well as other important information from Parkinson’s disease research.
