Study finds higher 10-year mortality in twins with Parkinson’s disease

Audio narration · Coming soon

This study followed 54 twin pairs where only one twin had Parkinson’s disease and found a significantly higher 10-year mortality rate among the affected twins, including those who were genetically identical. Researchers also noted more frequent constipation in affected twins, though dietary and nutritional differences were minimal, with some secondary findings needing further confirmation.
