Mayo Clinic Study Finds Anemia Might be Associated With Development of Parkinson's Disease |
|
ROCHESTER, Minn. — Results of a new Mayo Clinic study support an association between anemia experienced early in life and the development of Parkinson's disease many years later. |
The findings will be presented at the American
Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting in Seattle on April 30, 2009. "We were surprised to discover that chronic
anemia or low levels of hemoglobin
were linked to the risk of Parkinson's disease 20-30 years later," says Walter
Rocca M.D. an author of the study and a neurologist at Mayo Clinic. |
