Certain gut issues and digestive habits could actually be a warning sign of Parkinson's disease, according to a new study.
Researchers used data from the US medical record network TriNetX comprising 24,624 people with Parkinson's, 19,046 people with Alzheimer's and 23,942 people with cerebrovascular disease. Those with Parkinson's were matched with patients in other groups by age, sex, race and length of diagnosis, with the frequency of gut conditions compared on their records for an average of six years before diagnosis.
Both studies found four gut conditions were associated with a higher risk of Parkinson's. These included constipation, difficulty swallowing and gastroparesis - a condition that slows the movement of food to the small intestine - which were all associated with a doubling in risk for developing Parkinson's in the five years prior to diagnosis.
They added: "These findings warrant alertness for syndromes in patients at higher risk for Parkinson's disease and highlight the need for further investigation of precedents in Alzheimer's disease and cerebrovascular disease."
