 Parkinson's linked to vitamin D |

 |  | A US team found 55% of Parkinson's patients had insufficient levels of vitamin D, compared to 36% of healthy elderly people.
However, the Emory University researchers do not yet know if the vitamin deficiency is a cause or the result of having Parkinson's. |
| | The researchers said the findings were striking because the study group came from the South West of the US, where sunny weather is the norm. |
- Sounds like an effect rather than a cause. I wonder if they have statistics based on skin shade.
