  1. How long can a person live after diagnosis? The first thing to remember when seeking an estimate of a patient's life expectancy is that the answer is never certain. Each individual is unique, and there is no formula for predicting how quickly a chronic disease will proceed, how severely it will affect the body, or whether additional complications will arise along the way. Parkinson’s Disease Is a Progressive Disorder : Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological disease that affects mobility and, in some cases, cognition. When compared to healthy people of the same age group, those with Parkinson's disease may have a somewhat shorter lifespan. Patients often develop Parkinson's symptoms at the age of 60, according to Dr. Vinod Metta for Parkinson's Research, and many live between 10 and 20 years after diagnosis. However, the accuracy of this estimate is influenced by the patient's age and general health status at the start of each shift. Although age is the most important risk factor for Parkinson's disease, young-onset Parkinson's disease, which strikes persons before the age of 50, accounts for 10 to 20% of PD cases. While Parkinson's disease has no cure, many patients are only mildly affected and do not require therapy for several years following their diagnosis. PD, on the other hand, is chronic (meaning illness lasts for a long time) and progressive (meaning the symptoms get worse with time). Some people experience this process more swiftly than others. Some symptoms, such as bradykinesia (slowness of movement), rigidity, or tremor (shaking), can be managed with pharmaceuticals and surgical treatments, but there is nothing that can be

  2. done to slow the disease's overall course. Shaking, which affects the majority of PD patients, might interfere with activities of daily living (ADLs) and one's quality of life over time. Is Parkinson's Disease a deadly disease? It's critical to recognize that Parkinson's disease is not a fatal disease. Complications and a patient's comorbid diseases are more life-threatening than PD itself, as they are with Alzheimer's disease and other kinds of dementia. Because Parkinson's disease affects mobility, balance, and coordination, patients are more likely to fall as the disease develops. Falls are a well-known danger that is a significant cause of injury and death among the elderly. Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, is another problem that can arise at any moment during a person's PD journey, and it can lead to aspiration pneumonia, which is another significant cause of death in patients.
