Abstrakt: The authors reflect on the study concerning the prediction of Parkinson's disease. The authors had stressed that there has been a preclinical phase in idiopathic Parkinson's disease with a latent period somewhere between six and 40 years. They had emphasized that the prodrome, sometimes also termed the presymptomatic or pre-motor phase of Parkinson's disease, needs to be distinguished from non-motor features such as neuropsychiatric symptoms, dysautonomia, fatigue and others.
