Cardinal symptoms of Parkinson’ s disease – reduced amount of movement (hypokinesia), prolonged movement (bradykinesia), muscle stiffness (rigidity) and, where appropriate, vibrations (in about 70% of those with Parkinson’ s disease) of the vilotype (vilotremor) are the same regardless of gender, and usually regardless of age.

There are more individual differences in the extent of symptoms and their manifestations between individuals in a gender group, and there is a difference between men and women. /Häkan Widner
