Is There a Link Between COVID-19 and Parkinson’s Disease?
A recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Iowa has found a potential link between COVID-19 and Parkinson’s disease. The study analyzed data from more than 62 million patients and found that those who contracted COVID-19 were at a higher risk of developing Parkinson’s disease in the future. The researchers suggest that the inflammation caused by COVID-19 could trigger the onset of Parkinson’s disease, which is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement. However, more research is needed to confirm this link and understand the underlying mechanisms. This study adds to the growing body of evidence on the long-term effects of COVID-19 and highlights the need for continued research in this area.
