Explanation: A) Risk factors for PD include increased age; male gender; environmental exposures to pesticides, metals, and compounds such as manganese, lead, copper, iron, zinc, and aluminum; family history of PD; and genetic factors if age of onset is younger than 50 years. Cigarette smoking, caffeine intake, and high levels of urate in the blood inversely related to the risk of PD. Age is the most significant risk factor. There is little difference in incidence between men and women before 60 years of age. After 60 years of age, however, males are affected approximately 1.5 times more often than females, and this difference becomes greater as the age of onset gets older.
