Research Notes on Vitamin D and Parkinson's


Persons with Parkinson's disease (PD) are prone to developing osteoporosis. This may be due to insufficient vitamin D and calcium intake, and limited weight-bearing exercises. PD patients are also at risk for falls due to their movement problems, making them prone to fractures. It is therefore advised that PD patients should have vitamin D and calcium supplements, in addition to sun exposure and exercise, to prevent bone mass density loss.
