Am I at Risk for Parkinson's Disease? | Proactive Brain Health

Advances in diagnostics are opening doors to earlier detection for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, leading to opportunities for potential improvement in health outcomes through lifestyle modifications and research. Whether you have a family member with Parkinson's or you are someone who is interested in reducing risk and progression, this program will review what factors increase risk, what you can do to proactively reduce your risk, and how you can proactively maintain your brain health. As part of the Proactive Brain Health Alliance, we're launching a new series. Join George Kannarkat, MD, PhD in this first discussion where we will introduce the mission of the Proactive Brain Health Alliance as well as the concept of Proactive Brain Health. This livestream is part of a series on brain health through the Proactive Brain Health Alliance which is a community dedicated to educating those who are concerned about reducing risk, are at risk, or living in the preclinical or prodromal stages of neurodegenerative diseases.
