Underweight
and malnutrition are well documented in Parkinson's Disease (PD), while being
overweight has been less reported. Researchers carried out a study comparing the
weight and height of people with and without Parkinson's Disease. In those
people with Parkinson's Disease only 1% were underweight, 33% were within the
normal range, 47%% were overweight, and 19% were obese. Being normal weight and
overweight were more prevalent in those people who had Parkinson's Disease when
compared to those people who did not. Being obese and, even moreso, being
underweight were more common in those people who did not have Parkinsons'
Disease.
