Senior and Older Adult Health Issues: Alzheimer's Disease Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative central nervous system (CNS) disorder characterized by uncontrolled body movements, rigidity, tremor, and gait difficulties. The American Parkinson Disease Association estimates that one million Americans are affected by the disease. The risk for developing PD increases with age, and onset usually occurs at around 50 years of age or older, although the disease is not unknown in people in their 30s and 40s. Parkinson's disease affects men and women equally. There are two types of Parkinson's disease: idiopathic PD and secondary PD. Idiopathic PD, also known as primary PD, has no known recognizable cause; secondary PD may result from trauma, tumor, or cerebrovascular disease, or may be drug induced. Patients with both types of PD are classified into stages (early, moderate, or advanced) based on the progression of disease. There is no known cure for the disease; rather, the treatment goal for patients with either form of PD is to control the symptoms and provide quality of life.
