“…Two retrospective case series studies reported that PD patients who smoked had later onset of disease compared to never smokers [451,452]. However, in this study design, reverse causation is an obvious concern; no prospective data are available.…”

“…Although a genetic predisposition has been identified in a subset of patients with PD and several other risk factors for PD have been identified, 1-3 the cause and etiology of PD are largely unknown. [1][2][3][4][5] In addition to multiple other effects, the impaired basal ganglia function in PD leads to alterations in gait and balance. These motor changes in PD often restrict functional independence and are a major cause of morbidity and mortality among these patients.…”

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common, debilitating neurodegenerative disease. Gait disturbances are a frequent cause of disability and impairment for patients with PD. This article provides a brief introduction to PD and describes the gait changes typically seen in patients with this disease. A major focus of this report is an update on the study of the fractal properties of gait in PD, the relationship between this feature of gait and stride length and gait variability, and the effects of different experimental conditions on these three gait properties. Implications of these findings are also briefly described. This update highlights the idea that while stride length, gait variability, and fractal scaling of gait are all impaired in PD, distinct mechanisms likely contribute to and are responsible for the regulation of these disparate gait properties.

Various nutritional components belonging to different classes of natural dietary origin display modulatory (protective) properties against age-related neurodegenerative disorders (NDD) such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease. These compounds termed as nutraceuticals which have been shown to act at various biochemical and metabolic levels and exhibit different degree of neuroprotective properties. Present review aims to summarize the current status on the modulatory impact of some of the major nutritional compounds on the pathophysiology of PD, the second most common NDD in humans. Primarily, we have examined the data demonstrated in animal models and postulated through epidemiological studies on the compounds/molecules/life style factors which reduce the risk associated with PD and probable mechanism/s through which they elicit neuroprotection. Further we also included some of the conflicting information about the compounds which may enhance the risk associated with PD. Additionally, emphasis is also given about the new approaches to understand the impact of nutrition on the epigenome in relation to the development of NDD with a short note on emerging ideas relating to nutritional genomics.
