Researchers have identified a variety of environmental factors that are linked to Parkinson’s disease. Some of these factors may directly cause the disease symptoms, others may increase the risk of developing it. Here are the 5 main environmental factors that are linked to Parkinson’s disease development.

While the exact cause of Parkinson's disease is still unknown, researchers have found many factors that increase the risk of developing it. These are discussed here.
Parkinson’s disease is a neurological condition that affects movement and thinking. Here, learn about the early signs and why it happens.
Sleep problems can be an early clinical sign of Parkinson's disease, occurring months or years before other motor symptoms become apparent.

Roughly 5-10% of Parkinson's cases can be attributed to genetics as the dominant factor. There is one more very common risk factor that many of us share: diet. How and what we choose to eat can significantly impact brain cells and other cells (like gut cells) that contribute to the risk of developing Parkinson's dise

Parkinson’s is a scary disease. There's no clear cause for it, so your best protection is understanding the risk factors, and looking for ways to lower those risks even more. One of those things has to do with your possible attachment to — or lack of — a certain vestigial organ...

Parkinson's patients carrying mutations in PINK1 and Parkin genes have increased levels of circulating interleukin 6 and mitochondrial DNA. The findings strengthen a link between genetic risk factors from Parkinson's disease and inflammation.
Parkinson's patients carrying severe mutations in the GBA gene experience faster motor and cognitive declines, a study in China shows.

Objective To systematically investigate the association of environmental risk factors and prodromal features with incident Parkinson’s disease (PD) diagnosis and the interaction of genetic risk with these factors. To evaluate whether existing risk prediction algorithms are improved by the inclusion of genetic risk scores. Methods We identified individuals with an incident diagnosis of PD (n=1276) and controls (n=500 406) in UK Biobank. We determined the association of risk factors with incident PD using adjusted logistic regression models. We constructed polygenic risk scores (PRSs) using external weights and selected the best PRS from a subset of the cohort (30%). The PRS was used in a separate testing set (70%) to examine gene–environment interactions and compare predictive models for PD. Results Strong evidence of association (false discovery rate <0.05) was found between PD and a positive family history of PD, a positive family history of dementia, non-smoking, low alcohol consumption, depression, daytime somnolence, epilepsy and earlier menarche. Individuals with the highest 10% of PRSs had increased risk of PD (OR 3.37, 95% CI 2.41 to 4.70) compared with the lowest risk decile. A higher PRS was associated with earlier age at PD diagnosis and inclusion of the PRS in the PREDICT-PD algorithm led to a modest improvement in model performance. We found evidence of an interaction between the PRS and diabetes. Interpretation Here, we used UK Biobank data to reproduce several well-known associations with PD, to demonstrate the validity of a PRS and to demonstrate a novel gene–environment interaction, whereby the effect of diabetes on PD risk appears to depend on background genetic risk for PD.
Anticholinergic medications, commonly used for conditions including allergies, high blood pressure, Parkinson's disease, and motion sickness, have been linked to an increased risk of cognitive decline and memory problems, especially in those with genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease.
Scientific evidence supports a link between toxic chemical exposure and the risk of developing a neurodegenerative disease, such as Parkinson’s.
Our study identified a novel genetic risk factor in GBA1 in people of African ancestry, which has not been seen in European populations, and it could be a major mechanistic basis of Parkinson's disease in African populations. This population-specific variant exerts substantial risk on Parkinson's disease as compared with common variation identified through GWAS and it was found to be present in 39% of the cases assessed in this study. This finding highlights the importance of understanding ancestry-specific genetic risk in complex diseases, a particularly crucial point as the Parkinson's disease field moves towards targeted treatments in clinical trials.
