World Brain Day 2020: Move together to end Parkinson's disease

Neurological disorders are the leading cause of disability worldwide [1]. The latest iteration of the global burden of neurological diseases (GBD) is a true reflection of the current global impact of neurological disorders [2]. The collaborators noted 9.0 million deaths (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 8.8 –9.4) and 16.5% (16.1–17.0) of global deaths due to neurological disorders, making them the second leading cause of death after heart disease [1]. It is worth noting that 276 million (247–308) disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) were caused by neurological disorders [1].
