Parkinson’s disease is a fairly common neurological disorder in older adults, estimated to affect nearly 2 percent of those older than age 65. The National Parkinson Foundation estimates that 1 million Americans have Parkinson’s disease and that 50 to 80 percent of those patients will eventually experience Parkinson’s disease dementia.
