Blog 8:Chlosetrol Drugs may help ward off Parkinson's

According to the Harvard School of Public Health research, Statins lower the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson's disease occurs in approximately 1% of individuals aged 60 years and in about 4% of those aged 80 years. Since overall life expectancy is rising, the number of individuals with Parkinson's disease will increase in the future. The researchers states that In the United States, about 1 million people are affected by Parkinson's disease and worldwide about 5 million. Statins had a 26 percent decreased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease over a 12 year period. People under 60 were lessened by 69 percent. Researchers stated that statins helped in reducing blood levels of coenzyme Q and it protect against Parkinson’s disease and are actually known a treatment for the condition because statin reduce inflammation in the brain. During 1994 to 2006, 38000 men and 91,000 women were questioned if they were taking statins because it doesn’t worse the disease. The using of statins also reduced the heart diseases, obesity and lessens smoking habits.
I believe the using of cholesterol drugs is a best idea to lessen Parkinson disease and heart disease which means the death rates will be reduced and life expectancy is higher, which will solve the problem globally. Furthermore, Statin will also reduce the inflammation in the brain since it lower blood levels of coenzyme Q.  I believe everyone needs to start using statins since the research also approved that cholesterol drugs lessen the death rate. We need to focus on this common non communicable disease before it gets worse.
