Here's what stood out: - Metabolic syndrome affects about 1 in 4 adults worldwide, and Parkinson's is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's.
- Those with metabolic syndrome had ~40% higher risk of developing Parkinson's compared to those without it.
- The more components of metabolic syndrome someone had, the higher their Parkinson's risk.
While we can't change our genes, this study underscores that keeping metabolic syndrome at bay is one of the most powerful levers we can control for long-term brain health and healthy aging.
