Weight Change in Early Parkinson’s May Be Tied to Changes in Thinking Skills

People who lost weight soon after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease had a more rapid decline in thinking skills compared to those who maintained their normal weight. Those who gained weight had a slower decline in cognitive skills.

Epigenetic Changes Linked to Parkinson’s Disease Differ in Men and Women

Post-mortem analysis of the brains of those with Parkinson's disease revealed more than 200 genes with different epigenetic markers compared to healthy brains, but the affected genes were almost entirely different between women and men.

A Nose to Diagnose: Improving Parkinson’s Diagnosis

Researchers discovered personal odors can alter in people with Parkinson's disease. Based on this, they identified specific markers for Parkinson's in sebum, an oily substance secreted from the skin. They developed a new, non-invasive swab test that can identify Parkinson's with 95% accuracy.
