Abstract

A number of studies suggest that PD is associated with diseases resulting from atherosclerosis, lung diseases such as pneumonia and COPD, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Presently, the data must be regarded as preliminary. Additional large-scale longitudinal epidemiologic and interventional studies are necessary to validate these associations and to determine whether the associations are causal.
