Parkinson's Disease. Parkinsonâs disease (PD) affects about 1 percent of people over the age of 60, and over 1 million people in the United States. Parkinson's disease usually begins above the age of 40, but younger patients can be affected. PD generally presents slowly, and progresses slowly over years. Patients often have one or several of the following signs: 1  Tremor, or rhythmic unintentional movement. 2  Rigidity, or stiffness. 3  Bradykinesia, or a sense of slowing down in general. 4  Hypophonia, or softening of the voice. 5  Micrographia, or small handwriting.
