Los pronósticos más recientes respecto de la enfermedad de Parkinson resultan sorprendentes. Si estos vaticinios son certeros, debemos admitir que estamos al borde de una inminente pandemia. Resulta aterrador ver como en los países más poblados, el número de personas con Parkinson se duplicará hasta llegar a los 30 millones en el año 2030. Tal vez se antojan increíbles estas estadísticas crecientes; no obstante, son plenamente reales, ya que obedecen a una mayor expectativa de vida de la población. En efecto, la edad, es un factor de riesgo innegable e inevitable en el desarrollo de la enfermedad de Parkinson. Así, a mayor expectativa de vida, será mayor el número de enfermos. Dicho de otro modo, si todos viviéramos hasta los 100 años, es probable que desarrolláramos la enfermedad de Parkinson, lo cual generaría una crisis mundial. En mis viajes por el mundo como Director Médico de la Fundación Nacional de Parkinson, he conocido tanto a personas afectadas por este padecimiento, cuanto a sus parientes y amigos. Una de las preguntas más frecuentes es “¿qué debo hacer para mejorar mi vida y la de mis allegados?” Para satisfacer la sed de conocimiento de todas estas personas, decidí escribir este libro, a fin de compartir todos estos secretos para vivir feliz a pesar de la enfermedad de Parkinson. Para ello, coadyuvaron nuestros colegas y médicos en formación, quienes generosamente tradujeron estas páginas a varios idiomas.

AitSahlia MD, Nadira

Die jüngsten Prognosen zur Häufigkeit der Parkinson-Krankheit sind erschreckend. Sollten sie stimmen, bedeuten diese Zahlen, dass wir uns an der Schwelle zu einer neu aufkommenden Pandemie befinden. Es ist zu befürchten, dass sich die Zahl der Parkinson-Patienten in den bevölkerungsreichsten Nationen der Erde bis zum Jahr 2030 auf fast 30 Millionen verdoppeln wird. Diese Zahlen mögen unglaublich erscheinen, aber sie sind real und liegen in der kontinuierlich alternden Bevölkerung begründet. Alter ist der wichtigste und nicht beeinflussbare Risikofaktor für die Entwicklung der Parkinson-Krankheit. Da die Lebenserwartung steigt, steigt zwangsläufig auch die Zahl der Erkrankten an. Anders gesagt, wenn jeder 100 Jahre alt wird, werden wir gezwungen sein, uns mit der Parkinson-Krankheit im Sinne einer weltweiten Krise auseinanderzusetzen.Während meiner weltweiten Reisen als Medizinischer Direktor der National Parkinson Foundation" (NPF) habe ich Zehntausende von Parkinson-Betroffenen, Angehörigen und Freunden getroffen. Eine der am häufigsten gestellten Fragen ist: Was kann ich tun, um mein Leben und das meiner Angehörigen zu verbessern?". Ich habe dieses Buch geschrieben, um diesen Wissensdurst, den sich Parkinson-Patienten und ihre Familien weltweit teilen, zu stillen. Gemeinsam mit einem Netzwerk aus ehemaligen Stipendiaten und Kollegen haben wir dieses Buch in so viele Sprachen wie möglich übersetzt, um das notwendige Wissen für ein hoffnungsvolleres und glücklicheres Leben mit der Parkinson-Krankheit in der Welt zu verbreiten.Internationally renowned as both a neurologist and a leading researcher, Dr. Okun has been referred to as, "the voice of the Parkinson's disease patient."

Daniels MD, Christine

Le più recenti previsioni riguardo la Malattia di Parkinson sono impressionanti. Se accurate, i numeri suggeriscono di svegliarsi rapidamente, e rendersi conto che siamo sull’orlo di una incipiente pandemia. Spaventa considerare che nelle nazioni più popolose, il numero di parkinsoniani raddoppierà fino all’incirca a 30 milioni per l’anno 2030. Queste statistiche in progressiva crescita possono sembrare incredibili, ma sono reali, e sono sup-portate da una popolazione in continuo invecchiamento. E l’invecchiamento è un inevitabile e innegabile fattore di rischio per quanto riguarda lo sviluppo della malattia di Parkinson. All’aumentare dell’aspettativa di vita, aumenta il numero di casi. In altre parole, se ciascuno di noi vivesse fino all’età di 100 anni, tutti saremmo obbligati ad avere a che fare con la malattia di Parkinson. E sarebbe una crisi mondiale. Viaggiando per il mondo come Direttore Medico Nazionale per la National Parkin-son Foundation, ho incontrato decine di migliaia di persone affette da malattia di Par-kinson, i loro familiari, i loro amici. Una delle domande più frequenti nelle loro menti è “cosa posso fare per rendere la mia vita e le vite attorno alla mia migliori?”. Ho scritto questo libro per aiutare a sedare quella sete che è condivisa dai pazienti parkinsoniani e dalle loro famiglie in tutto il mondo. Ed è in questo spirito che attraverso un network di colleghi e collaboratori abbiamo tradotto questo libro in quante più lingue possibile. Così da aiutare a comprendere i segreti della Speranza e di una Vita più felice con la malattia di Parkinson.
