  • and is expected to double again in the next 20. It is now one of the fastest-growing neurological disorders in the world, outpacing stroke and multiple sclerosis

    Why is it expected to double again? How can you make that prediction when you aren’t sure why it doubled in the first place. Unless it’s more prevalent because people live longer and you expect people to live even longer in the future (we can have pretty good modelling of this).

    Is it the growth that’s greater than the growth of stroke and MS or is Parkinson’s more common than those diseases? Seems unclear. If it’s growth then how is it relevant? Is stroke and MS case load growing at an alarming rate?

    Doesn’t it seem weird that they don’t see an increased Parkinson’s rate in farmers? Asbestos was identified as a danger because it killed the miners and craftsmen working with it.
