A)Early-onset PD is likely due to a genetic mutation. Increasing age is a risk factor for the disease, and diagnosis as a young adult is uncommon. PD is associated with decreased dopamine levels in the brain, not an excess of dopamine. Although consuming a healthy, pesticide-free diet is recommended, dietary intake has not been definitively linked to development of PD.
