Research Abstract |
Mild parkinsonian signs (MPS) are reported to be associated with increased risks of dementia, Parkinson's disease, parkinsonism and vascular lesions of white matter. MPS subjects were converted more frequently to parkinsonism and/or dementia and showed higher mortality rate, when compared with control subjects. MPS should be paid more attention.
