Head injury, pesticidie exposure heightens risk of Parkinson #39;s
From California - A new report published in Neurology finds that people who have had pesticide exposure and also suffer a head injury are at significant increased risk of Parkinson #39;s disease. Researchers studied over 1000 individuals from an agricultural area in California, nearly 400 of whom had Parkinson #39;s disease. Participant #39;s exposure to the pesticide paraquat--a weed killer--was determined using geographic data. Participants also reported if they ever had a head injury where they lost consciousness for 5 minutes or more. Results showed that Parkinson #39;s patients were 2x more likely to have suffered a head injury that caused 5 minutes loss of consciousness. They were also 36% more likely to have exposure to paraquat than those without the disease. Taken together, suffering a head injury and being exposed to the pesticide resulted in a 3x increased risk of Parkinson #39;s diseaseFrom:insidermedicineViews:5 0ratingsTime:00:58More inScience Technology
