UAB Study to Examine Sense of Smell as Risk Factor for Parkinson’s

A reduced sense of smell, or hyposmia, might be a risk factor for developing Parkinson’s disease, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is participating in a study of hyposmia and two other potential risk factors. The study, sponsored by The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, is a new arm of the long-running Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI), which looks to attract as many as 20,000 people worldwide to participate in a brief online survey about the sense of smell.
