The research, published in JAMA Neurology, uncovered the symptoms that can be seen years before a diagnosis.
The first of its kind in the UK, the study analysed the neurodegenerative disorder in a largely diverse population in a bid to take a more in-depth look at how the disease affects all people.

In order to do this, the researchers analysed the medical records of over one million people living in East London between 1990 and 2018.

According to the study, in East London, about 45 per cent of residents are Black, South Asian, mixed, or belonging to another ethnic group.
Notably, the research found that those who suffer with epilepsy are at greater risk of developing Parkinson's disease in later life.

Case reports from 2016 found that Parkinson's and epilepsy can coexist.
This may be predating a Parkinson's diagnosis, or where epilepsy develops post-diagnosis.
According to the study, hearing loss may also be an early sign - occurring up to give years prior to a Parkinson's diagnosis.
