DISEASE PROGRESSION, DISEASE
Risk determinants for Parkinson’s disease (PD) include both genetic and environmental factors. Whether sporadic or monogenetic in origin, environmental factors may be critical in triggering PD onset in a susceptible host or influencing disease progression. The intestinal microbiota can impact both health and disease, and it is plausible that the intestinal microbiota (i.e., the microbiota–gut–brain axis) influences PD symptoms, progression, and treatment successConsumption of prebiotic fibers influences microbiota composition and levels of SCFA
