About the Study:

Smell loss is linked to Parkinson’s disease (PD). The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research is asking everyone age 60 and older without Parkinson’s in the United States and Canada to take a simple scratch-and-sniff test. This could help scientists learn more about risk of brain disease and develop new treatments.

Purpose:

To help scientists learn more about risk of Parkinson's disease and develop new treatments.
