Description
Breathing trouble is a known danger in late Parkinson's disease, but how early it starts is less clear. Jules Janssen Daalen and co-authors tested twenty people with mild to moderate disease in 2024, checking lung strength and how their breathing answers low oxygen. Eight matched healthy people served as a comparison.
At rest, those with worse disease took smaller breaths and breathed faster, though standard lung tests looked normal. When oxygen was lowered, the patients' breathing response was far weaker than the controls', at every disease level. Longer low oxygen exposures hinted that milder patients keep some response. The authors say breathing checks deserve a place in early Parkinson's care.
