		<description><![CDATA[Parkinson&#8217;s disease is what is known as a slowly progressing neurological disorder. It usually has an onset around or after age 60 with an average of 14 years between diagnosis and death (which means that there is a slightly reduced lifespan compared to peers without Parkinson&#8217;s disease). While symptoms vary &#8211; resting tremor, gait disturbances, [...]
